Example and Definition of Levelof Detial LOD Node for Foil 169(Example and Definition)
1 level field contains Shape nodes and other grouping nodes. Here Inline node is a good tool to use. The first child provides the highest-detail version of the shape, and subsequent children provide lower-detail version, and so on.
2 center field specifies the 3-D coordinate in the coordinate for the shape built within the LOD node.
3 range field specifies a list of viewer-to-the center of shape distances at which the browser should switch from one level of detail to another.
  • If there are n versions of detailed representation of a shape in the level field, there must be (n-1) range values. Range values must be positive and in increasing order.
