Hi,

using the settings in the viewport's Display menu, or a Display tag, I can control the level of detail (LOD) of primitves, splines and generators (like HyperNURBS).

How is that done? I would like my object to react to the LOD settings, too. Do I have to come up with my own LOD solution, or can I use those standards, too?

E.g., what does a HyperNURBS do to adapt to the LOD setting? And how does it react to a Display tag? Just searching if there is a tag and read the data from its container?

Thanks in advance for tips!

Greetings,
Jack

Just use the GetLOD of the HierarchyHelp.

It will always give the correct LOD depending on viewport setting or display tag.

cheers,
