 For In Scene Objects, the position is set ( in x, y, z ) relative to the bottom center of the ownership vehicle. The coordinate system is as follows, as viewing from the driver: +x is to the right, +y is forward, and +z is up.  The origin of the coordinate system is the BOTTOM center of the ownership vehicle, so if you wanted something to be at eye-level with the driver, you would have to give it a positive z value, as well as a positive y value to bring it out in front of the driver. Units for position and size are in feet, and units for angle are in degrees.

 This will move the Visual Object to the specified position, XY for Overlay objects, XYZ for In scene objects.  The units and coordinate system are based on the type of Visual Object as described above.
 '''SetColor'''
 This takes in 4 floats, separated by a semi-colon. The first three floats are the values of Red, Green, and Blue, respectively; The last value is the Alpha, or transparency, value.  1 is transparent, and 0 is completely visible.
 '''SetBorderColor'''
 Similar to SetColor, This takes in 4 floats, separated by a semi-colon. The first three floats are the values of Red, Green, and Blue, respectively; The last value is the Alpha, or transparency, value.  1 is transparent, and 0 is completely visible.
 '''SetSize'''
 This takes in two ints to set the height and width of the object.  The units are based on the type of Visual Object as described above.
 '''SetStateIndex'''
 This is used to set the state of the Visual Object, and takes in the group number of an object.  The default state for OFF is 0.  This can be used to start an animation that you have previously authored in the Dialog tab, in the Object settings as described above.

-Static objects are used to augment the static features of the scene. They have no behavior other than simply existing in the scene with any of their visual or audio states set to a fixed state. In addition, the scenario system will detect a collision between the simulator driver and any static object inserted by the ISAT. The outcome of that collision depends on the status of the collision effect setting (see Section Error! '''Reference source not found.''').
-−
-Static objects impose negligible runtime overhead on the scenario control engine. The overhead on the image generator depends on their visual complexity. In general, it should be possible to insert numerous static objects with minimal effect on performance.

-===Creating a static object===
-−
-To create a static object, select the menu option Insert->Local Scenario Elements->Static Relocatable Object, or click on the appropriate toolbar icon:

-The cursor will turn into the insertion cursor:

-The tool will then wait for a single button click anywhere on the map. Once the left mouse button is clicked, a dialog box with two tabs will appear. The first tab allows specification of the SOL model, and the second tab allows specification of any applicable visual and audio states. These dialog boxes are similar to the respective dialog boxes of other scenario elements.
-−
-Once the SOL object has been selected and the visual and audio states of the object have been defined, click on the OK button. The dialog box will disappear, and the top down view of the static object will appear on the map.
-−
-Note that even though the ISAT will allow placement of a static object anywhere on the map, unless a road, intersection, or other terrain object is underneath the specified location, a default elevation of zero will be used for placing the object in the scene. If the surrounding scene is at a different height than the static object, it may either appear to be floating above the scene or would be hidden below the terrain.
-−
-===Rotating or moving s static object===
-−
-Upon placement, a static object is oriented along the x-axis. To change the object’s orientation right-click on the object, then select the “Rotate” option. At that point, any mouse motion will rotate the object according to the relative position of the cursor. Click any mouse button to leave the object in its current orientation.
-−
-To move a static object, click on it and then drag the mouse. The object will move along with the cursor. Release the mouse button to place the object in its new location.
-−
-===Editing a static object===
-−
-Double-click on a static object to bring up the “static object definition” dialog box. Change any necessary parameters and click OK. Alternatively, right-click on a static object and pick the Settings menu option.
-−
-===Deleting a static object===
-−
-A static object can be deleted in several ways. While the object is selected, click the Del or Delete key, select the Edit->Cut menu option, or use the Ctrl-X shortcut. Another option is to right-click on the object and select the Delete option on the pop-up menu.
