Sanat, The method won't work because your VPB database is not geocentric. It is projected (UTM). A non-geocetric db won't have an EllipsoidModel.
Setting an EM won't work. The EllipsoidModel conversion methods only convert between geodetic (lat/long) and geocentric. The conversion works in osgEarth because osgEarth automatically detects the terrain's coordinate system and knows how to convert between UTM, geodetic, and geocentric. Bottom line is, you cannot place something on your UTM database using lat/long coordinates without first converting lat/long to UTM.
