Parameters:

module (str or ModuleObj) – String name of module created with makeModule()
sceneDict (dictionary) – Dictionary with keys: tilt, clearance_height`*, `pitch, azimuth, nMods, nRows, hub_height`*, `height`* * height deprecated from sceneDict. For makeScene (fixed systems) if passed it is assumed it reffers to clearance_height. `clearance_height recommended for fixed_tracking systems. hub_height can also be passed as a possibility.
