When the Copy, Move or Import from Database commands are used, the Stand Setup tab is in the Move Stand Setup mode. When in this mode, parameters can be defined for (re)positioning and existing stand design.

Terrain

The top row in the Move Stand Setup tab controls the drawing X,Y plane or Terrain on which the Stand session is to be placed.

• Unless a terrain object(s) has been added in Drawing Manager -> Terrains, the drop-down terrain selection list control will be disabled while the elevation (Z) cell will be active. This allows you to specify a drawing X,Y plane elevation for the session.
• If a terrain object(s) has been added in Drawing Manager -> Terrains, the drop-down terrain selection list control will be enabled and this terrain object(s) will be available for selection, in addition to Drawing X,Y plane.

Stand reference system

The second section in the Move Stand Setup tab controls the Stand reference system, a local X,Y coordinate system within which the positions and distances at the gate can be measured.

If the session has been placed on the drawing X,Y plane (i.e., a terrain object is not in use), the stand reference system also contains an arrow to specify the apron slope direction. It is critical that the stand reference system is placed at a position from which there is one uniform slope to the pavement area where airplanes are parked.

• X,Y: Refers to the origin position of the Stand reference system in drawing coordinates.
• Elevation (Z): Refers to the elevation of the Stand reference system. The elevation is taken from the drawing X,Y plane or terrain at the origin X,Y point.
• Orientation: Refers to the orientation of the X-axis of the coordinate system in the drawing angle system.

Original X,Y coordinates and orientation

The bottom row in the Move Stand Setup tab can be used to lock the X,Y position and orientation of the session when it is repositioned in the drawing. If this checkbox is selected, all coordinates, except elevation (Z), from the original session are used when placing the session in the drawing. Elevation is taken from the drawing X,Y plane or terrain selected in the top row.
