| Merge | Boolean |
Whether or not adjacent components should be handled as a whole or independently Default Value: 1 |
| Tx | Double |
Translation in X to apply to each subdivision Default Value: 0 |
| Ty | Double |
Translation in Y to apply to each subdivision Default Value: 0 |
| Tz | Double |
Translation in Z to apply to each subdivision Default Value: 0 |
