Defining Objects with the 2D Map

To define some objects in STK, you specify position and other data for points, lines and shapes. Depending on the degree of precision that is required, it is sometimes more efficient to use the 2D Graphics window to define these geometric entities visually. You can use this procedure to define:

• Position of facilities and targets,
• Centroids and boundary points for area targets
• Line points for line targets
• Waypoints for routes of great arc vehicles (aircraft, ships and ground vehicles)
• Launch position or burnout position for launch vehicles
• Launch position or impact position for missiles

Simply open the appropriate property page, go to the 2D Map and click the left mouse button at locations where you wish to place points.

Note: There are cases in which you must enter numerical data manually to achieve the required precision.
