Changes the reference scale associated with a terrain pyramid level.

Usage

  • Consider changing a terrain pyramid's reference scale if you experience undesirable draw speed performance or require greater densification of data points in the pyramid's display scale range.

  • It may also be necessary to add or remove a pyramid level when changing the resolution of an existing one, which can be done by using Add Terrain Pyramid or Remove Terrain Pyramid.
