Does vizInterfaceSupport allow the scripted use of a custom shape model ?

Hi all,
vizInterfaceSupport allows the creation of custom OBJ models inside Vizard thanks to createCustomModel. I believe that this function merely makes the custom OBJ model available from inside Vizard's model selection menu.

However, the programmatic selection of the spacecraft shape model that is displayed upon starting Vizard is name-based, and I don't think that the current implementation supports names other than 3USat, 6USat and bskSat.

Is this true ? If so, users are forced to manually select the custom-created shape model from inside Vizard everytime it is restarted

You should be able to setup other names for imported obj objects as well. When importing you use the simBodiesToModify string argument. See the sections "Specifying the Spacecraft CAD Model to use" and "Defining the Custom Spacecraft Shape model".
