MapPackageModelWriter.DeduceDetailSettings Method
Automatically deduces appropriate level-of-detail settings for the input model data.
DeduceDetailSettings()
Automatically deduces appropriate level-of-detail settings for the input model data.Syntax
public void DeduceDetailSettings ()Remarks
This method attempts to deduce the detail settings for the model conversion job – that is, MapPackageModelTable.ExtraTileLevels and MapPackageModelTable.LevelOfDetailMultiplier – such that all detail levels of the input model will be preserved in the output, and so that each tile level has an appropriate level of detail corresponding to the viewing distance.
The deduced detail settings are applied directly to the extraTileLevels and levelOfDetailMultiplier properties on the MapPackageModelTable that is attached to this MapPackageModelWriter.
The deduction works by calculating the detail level of all input models in a manner similar to Estimate, and then automatically adjusting the levelOfDetailMultiplier based on the results. This way, each tile level should get density estimates as close as possible to what is appropriate for the level's viewing distance. Finally, it sets extraTileLevels setting to the value required to preserve all detail levels present in the input model.
If needed, you can adjust the results by editing levelOfDetailMultiplier and extraTileLevels after running DeduceDetailSettings. For example, if you wish to reduce the level of detail for faster run-time performance, you can multiply the levelOfDetailMultiplier by e.g. 0.8, or if you do not need quite all the detail levels of the input data, you could subtract one or two levels from extraTileLevels to create a smaller output model.
Moreover, the method will attempt to deduce if the optimization of mesh textures should be performed (see OptimizeMeshTextures). It will try to figure out this by checking if any of the texture coordinates are outside of the range 0-1. If the input model contain texture coordinates that are outside of the range 0-1, OptimizeMeshTextures will be set to False.
