LineOfSightOverlay.Dynamic Property
Gets or sets a value specifying if the analysis will be recalculated whenever the underlying ground changes.
Syntax
public AttributeVariable< System.Boolean > Dynamic { get; set; }Property Value
Default: true
A value specifying if the analysis will be recalculated whenever the underlying ground changes.
Remarks
If this property evaluates to True for a certain observer, the analysis will be updated whenever any ground meshes within the range of the observer is loaded or unloaded. This will keep the analysis and the meshes currently displayed in the view in sync, and produce a correct result. There is still a small chance that the view may be rendered with a new ground mesh just before the analysis is updated, but it will correct itself in the next frame. To get the most accurate analysis, the view will also load (and display) high-resolution tiles around the observers.
If this property evaluates to False, a different approach is taken. The view will start loading high-resolution tiles around the observer, but will not do the analysis until all needed data is loaded. When the data is loaded, the analysis will be done, and then the view will revert to its standard tile resolution. The upside of this is that it will require less CPUGPU resources, since the analysis will not be updated again until the observer itself is moved or modified. The downside is that the display of the overlay may not be correct afterwards, since the analysis may be done on different mesh data than what is displayed in the view. There will also be a delay after an observer is added until the results are displayed in the view.
