API field
Scene origin
The georeference of the scene origin; empty = none
Unit °, m
What it is
The latitude, longitude and elevation of the point the scene coordinates are measured from. It records where the layout sits; it neither scales nor shifts the coordinates, and the engine never converts scene lengths. The run checks it against the site and returns it in summary.scene.origin; the sun position, the weather and the elevation come from the site section alone, and the origin's elevation, in metres, is not used. POST /api/run rejects an origin more than 10 km from the site.
Typical values and how to get it
Leave it empty unless the layout is referenced to a surveyed benchmark, or put the centre of your own projection here. An elevation of 0, the default, is fine when the file gives none.
