Models and Antennas

  1. We have a few sample models for you to look at. You're also free to download your own models, we currently have support for .obj, .stl, and .ply.

  2. After you press File > Import Plane Model you can choose from a couple sample models under the models folder.

  3. You can import Antenna Locations via a CSV file. This can be done by clicking File > Import Antennas. (Currently we only have a sample CSV file that matches with the F16.stl plane model.) We have added the ability to modify antenna locations through user input. Details on how to do so found below.

Add-on features

  1. We have added the ability to Add a new antenna through user input.

    a. To do so please click the Antennas button on the top left and click Add Antenna, a popup-dialog will appear for you to enter the x,y,z values as well as the orientation of the antenna

    b. Please note: the x,y,z coordinates you input should be in meters based on the specifications of the plane model you have selected. The orientation should be values >= -360 and <= 360. (You can take a look at our sample CSV file located under the Antenna Locations folder for reference for what the values should look like.)

  2. We have added the ability to Remove Antennas through user input.

    a. To do so please click the Antennas button on the top left and click Remove Antenna, a popup-dialog will appear for you to enter the x,y,z values of the Antenna you want to remove from the model.

    b. Please note: the x,y,z coordinates you input should be in meters based on the specifications of the plane model you have selected.

  3. We have added the ability to Edit an existing antenna through user input.

    a. To do so please click the Antennas button on the top left and click Edit Antenna, a popup-dialog will appear for you to enter the x,y,z values as well as the orientation of the original antenna you want to replace. You will then enter the x,y,z and orientation values you want to change the antenna to.

    b. Please note: the x,y,z coordinates you input should be in meters based on the specifications of the plane model you have selected. The orientation should be values >= -360 and <= 360. (You can take a look at our sample CSV file located under the Antenna Locations folder for reference for what the values should look like.)

  4. We have added the ability to Clear All Antennas on the renderer.

    a. If you want to completely remove all antennas from the screen you can do so.

  5. We have added the ability to Export to a CSV to save any new locations you may have added/removed.

    a. Exporting to a CSV will save the file in your current directory (where you extracted the zip folder) with the name of the model you made the changes on and (updated) will be appended to the name of the file. (Example: If your model is the F16, exporting the antenna locations you've made changes to will add a CSV with the name "F16(updated).csv".
