Thanks for the explanation, Chris - it clarified a lot. About the last line: I completely agree. I will keep it in the back of my mind for possible future application. Interestingly enough, I was just reading an article on LOD in my last free issue :-( of Real Time Graphics (vol. 6 no. 10). Mainly it was about stuff developed by three "companies": -Sven Technologies | www.sven-tech.com -Numerical Design Ltd. | www.ndl.com -Innovmetric | www.innovmetric.com Maybe it is interesting, I don't know... -Ernst ..................
