GroundVehicle.GetHeight(Terrain) Method |
Top |
DescriptionReturn the bodydetic height above the provided Terrain object. Objects below the surface of the terrain will return a negative height. This is a geodetic height measured along the line perpendicular to the ellipsoid. For Spacecraft objects, this is the distance from the calling Spacecraft to the point where its subsatellite point intersects with the terrain. This distance is the same as (Spacecraft height above terrain) = (Spacecraft height above the ellipsoid) - (terrain height above the ellipsoid at the spacecraft's subsatellite point lat/lon).
