Unigine.GeodeticPivot Class
| Inherits: | Node |
This class is used to create and modify a geodetic pivot object that is used to place world objects on their real world positions (latitude, longitude and altitude).
Notice
The geodetic pivot contains an ellipsoid with a pivot point.
Geodetic pivot object works only in the Engineering and Sim versions of UNIGINE SDK. In other editions it's equivalent to NodeDummy.
