• Select the check box for Enable under Bounding Box to enable bounding box LOD generation for assemblies for a fixed size.
• Select the check box for Enable under Nothing to enable the hiding of assemblies at a fixed size.
• For Screen Size (%) under Bounding Box, set the size at which to switch to a bounding box.
• For Screen Size (%) under Nothing, set the size at which to hide the assembly.
• For Max Size (m) under Bounding Box, set the maximum allowed size of an assembly to switch to a bounding box: 0= all.
• For Max Size (m) under Nothing, set the maximum allowed size of an assembly to hide: 0=all.
• For Min Distance (m) under Bounding Box, set the minimum allowed distance at which to switch to a bounding box.
• For Min Distance (m) under Nothing, set the minimum allowed distance at which to hide the assembly.
• For Min Reduction (%) under Bounding Box, set the minimum amount of reduction to be obtained to keep bounding box representation.
• Transition method—Select Snap or Blend.
◦ Select Snap to set the LOD transition method to snap between one LOD and the next.
◦ Select Blend to set the LOD transition method to blend between one LOD and the next.
