Hi Mike, Traditional LOD's are selected on distance range, which makes sense for perspective projection, but for orthographic it doesn't make sense. Choosing LOD based on screen space would be appropriate for orthographic projection. I haven't personally tried it with PagedLOD but in theory it should work. It will require you to modify the PagedLOD's on loading if they aren't set up for screen space selection, as osgDB::ReadFileCallback could be used to process the newly loading subgraphs.
