12 | Basics Menus Reference > Edit > Level of Detail Related topics ™ "Group objects together" on page 138 Edit > Ungroup > ˆ Ungroup Under Ungroup objects under one of the following: Parent Puts all objects under their lowest common parent in the hierarchy. If there is none, then it puts the objects as the world level. World Puts all objects at world level (at the top-level of the hierarchy). Preserve Position When on, Maya preserves the transformation information of the group. If off, the ungrouped objects lose their grouped transformation attributes, therefore changing their position when ungrouped. Edit > Level of Detail Lets you associate multiple versions of some geometry to be replaced based on distance in a game engine. This lets you produce a high-quality version of a model for up-close and a low-quality version for far-away, with multiple versions in between. Notes • Level of Detail doesn't handle instances; instanced geometry will not be displayed consistently if it is added into a Level of Detail. Only use uninstanced geometry when creating levels of detail. • Edit > Ungroup should not be used with Level of Detail; the LOD threshold information will not be reset properly on Undo. Use Edit > LevelOfDetail > Ungroup to properly ungroup an lodGroup node.
