Hi Adam,
This has been something I thought would be a nice feature too. It should be
possible. I've placed other models using nasal to create interesting
scenes. It would be kind of cool for simulated UAV work to see your exact
waypoint target in 3d space.

Using storage to extend the benefits of virtualization and iSCSI
Virtualization increases hardware utilization and delivers a new level of
agility. Learn what those decisions are and how to modernize your storage
