Approximate Mode Dialog Box

The Approximate Mode dialog box allows you to fine-tune the approximate view generation options according to your needs. More precisely, you can set the precision (that is the level of detail - LOD) with respect to the performances (that is generation time - Time). This dialog box appears when you select the Approximate view generation mode and then click Configure on the View tab.

It contains controls for Level of Detail.

Level of Detail

Specify the level of detail in the dedicated field, or move the cursor to set the precision in the graphic area on the right.

The level of detail corresponds to the precision with which the application determines which edges are hidden and which are not. As a result, decreasing this precision may lead to smaller geometry being visible whenever it should not be, and vice-versa. The higher the precision, the lower the performances. In any case, memory consumption will not be impacted.

By default, the level of detail is set to 4.
