Example

  1. Consider a Model of a building, consisting of a Geometry Model describing its geometric representation, where the Model is described in an LSR 3D spatial reference frame.

    To instance this Model into an Environment Root whose spatial reference frame is 3D geodetic, the data provider constructs a Geometry Model Instance with a World Transformation component, and incorporates it into the Geometry Hierarchy of that Environment Root. The World Transformation specifies the GD Location 3D at which the Model's 0, 0, 0 coordinate will be instanced, together with any other transformation information required to orient and scale the Model properly.

  2. Consider a Geometry Model describing the rotor of a helicopter, and intended for use within a larger Geometry Model of the entire helicopter. Both are defined in 3D LSR spatial reference frames.

    The helicopter model will contain a Geometry Model Instance of the rotor model, with an LSR Transformation component containing a Rotation object with a Rotation Control Link. The LSR Transformation specifies both the transformation required to position the rotor within the helicopter model, and the Variable within the larger helicopter Model that will be plugged into the rotor Model's internal Variable for angle of rotation.
