That's fine. That's nothing like your original questioning. Basically, the LOD Node is intended that each of its children should roughly be representations of the same entity, in the same place, but with different degrees of detail. So, using it as intended (as you propose here) should be fine. Getting weird with extreme transforms to move the children about relative to each other is a recipe for a mess. -- Chris 'Xenon' Hanson, omo sanza lettere. xe...@alphapixel.com http://www.alphapixel.com/ Digital Imaging.
