Filter: X3D only | Avalon only | All
id | Name | DataType | PartType | Default | ValueType | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
subdivisionMode | SFString | initializeOnly | regular | regular, latlong | Controlls the subdivision of the sphere, regular: generates patches which are all equally sized; latlong: generates faces along the lat-long lines | |
useGeoCache | SFBool | initializeOnly | TRUE | controlls the use of geometry caches for primitives with equal properties | ||
lit | SFBool | initializeOnly | TRUE | Specifies whether to enable/disable lighting the geometry. TRUE enables lighting, FALSE disables lighting. | ||
resolution | SFFloat | inputOutput | 1 | factor for subdivision of mesh | ||
multiResolutionLevel | SFInt32 | initializeOnly | 1 | resolution level in progressive mesh | ||
invalidateVolume | SFBool | inputOutput | FALSE | set volume invalid | ||
normalUpdateMode | SFString | initializeOnly | nice | none; fast; nice | force update of normals; nice update is with creaseAngle, fast is without | |
cacheMode | SFString | initializeOnly | auto | auto; dlist; vbo; off | controls the creation of geo cache objects; auto is vbo or dlist for dynamic objects | |
optimizationMode | MFString | inputOutput | auto | auto; all, none, sharedVertex; stripFan; vertexResort; reduceIndexSize; singleIndex | optimization mode settings; used leading +/- to switch modes on and off | |
logFeature | MFString | inputOutput | state, child, parent, route, eventIn, eventOut | controls the logging of changes, state: log state changes (e.g. live), child: log child add/remove, parent: log parent add/remove, route: log route add/remove; eventIn: log receiving of events, eventOut: log sending of events: guiView, runtime system should create node-view, guiEdit: runtime system should create node-editeverything: log everything |
