Let's say we want to position the catii-iii.xml object at the end of a taxiway. We stop the UFO just above this intersection and press the space key. A Select Model window will open up where the contents of the <tt>[[$FG_ROOT]]/Models/</tt> directory will be shown (or press {{key press|L}} and you can go to any desired directory). Select your preferred model from this list, then close the window. The selected model path/name will be displayed in green text at the bottom left of the FlightGear screen. | Let's say we want to position the catii-iii.xml object at the end of a taxiway.

To place the object, simply left-click on the position that you want to place it. By default, it is placed completely horizontal and rotated to point north.
