Places the object’s pivot point at a specified altitude above the ground.

·         ATC_PIVOT_RELATIVE = 1
Places each point of the object at a specified altitude above the pivot point altitude, defined by its Point Altitude. The pivot is located at the center of the object.

·         ATC_ON_TERRAIN = 2
Creates the object on the terrain itself.

·         ATC_TERRAIN_ABSOLUTE = 3
Places the object’s pivot point at a specified altitude above the terrain database vertical datum base ellipsoid.

·         ATC_DEFAULT = 999

Note:    ATC_PIVOT_RELATIVE and ATC_ON_TERRAIN values apply only for 2D shapes and polygons.
