MapPackageModelTable.LevelOfDetailMultiplier Property
Factor adjusting the level of detail at each tile level.
Syntax
public System.Double LevelOfDetailMultiplier { get; set; }Property Value
Default: 1.0
A factor that adjusts the level of detail at each tile level.
Remarks
This property adjusts the assignment of input models to GlobeView tile levels. The value must be greater than 0.0.
Roughly stated, setting LevelOfDetailMultiplier to 2.0 will make detailed models visible twice as far away from the camera, before being replaced by a less-detailed version, than they would by default.
To be more precise: when writing models to a MapPackage, each input model will be assigned to a tile level (a detail level in the GlobeView). Models with less detail will be assigned to lower tile levels, and more detailed models will be assigned to higher tile levels. The higher tile levels are displayed when close to the camera. This property adjusts this assignment so that, if set above 1.0, more detailed models will be assigned to lower tile levels than they would otherwise, and vice versa if set to a value lower than 1.0.
This property relates to GlobeView.ElevationResolution as follows: a MapPackage model created with LevelOfDetailMultiplier = 2.0 will – when viewed from the same distance – look the same in a GlobeView with Medium as a model created with LevelOfDetailMultiplier = 1.0 in a GlobeView with High.
To automatically determine an appropriate value for LevelOfDetailMultiplier and ExtraTileLevels for a given input model, use MapPackageModelWriter.DeduceDetailSettings. You can also get an estimate of the detail level that would result from conversion, without going through the process of actually converting the whole dataset and inspecting the result, using MapPackageModelWriter.Estimate. See the documentation for ModelDetailEstimate for an explanation of how to interpret the results and how it related to LevelOfDetailMultiplier.
