Changing the Threshold distances

You can change the distances at which the levels are switched using the Channel Box.

To change a Threshold distance

1. Select the level of detail group node in the Hypergraph.

   Its level of detail attributes are displayed in the Channel Box.

2. Edit the Threshold value for the object whose distance you want to change, and press Enter (Windows and Linux) or Return (Mac OS X).

Re-ordering the levels

You can re-order the levels after you create a level of detail group.

To re-order the levels in the Outliner

1. In the Outliner, use the middle mouse button to drag the object you want to move into its new position within the group. This is the easiest way to re-order the levels.

To re-order the levels in the Hypergraph

1. In the Hypergraph, use the middle mouse button to remove the object you want to re-order from the group.

   The other objects in the group move up the group hierarchy.

2. Use the middle mouse button to drag the removed object onto the lodGroup node. The object is added to the bottom of the lodGroup’s hierarchy.
   TipYou can also re-order a group by selecting Edit > Level of Detail > Ungroup. Re-order the objects and create a new group.
   NoteIf you reorder the children of a level of detail node from the Hypergraph, the threshold values change unexpectedly. Use the outliner to reorder the children.
