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. It will probably not have the correct orientation and it might be partly covered by the surrounding terrain, but we can adjust that. | To place the object, simply left-click on the position that you want to place it.
