Sight line

When automatically generating a bay definition, the maximum number of tiers is used to terminate the tier generation. However, in addition to this, a line-of-sight may be set up (global to all bay definitions) and this used, so that no containers are generated which obstruct the line-of-sight.

In fact, no containers are generated which intersect the plane through this line of sight, or indeed, are above the line-of-sight.

To create a line-of-sight use the following command:

BAY SIGHT_LINE 20 0 25 177 0 15.3

This will create a line-of-sight between the eye point (20, 0, 25) and a target point (177, 0, 15.3).

When you create a line-of-sight, it is, by default, set as "on", that means, it will be used in subsequent bay generations.

Having created a line-of-sight, it might no longer be required. To stop this being used, use the command:

BAY SIGHT_LINE OFF

To use it once more use the command

BAY SIGHT_LINE ON
