| Core Interfaces - Quick Navigation

The heightManager Core Interface allows certain objects (Lights) in VIZ 2006 and higher to be created at a pre-defined Z height. This interface only manages the height values, the actual creation at custom Z-height is implemented by the Light-creating MacroScripts which access heights from this interface and perform the real work.
