Hi there,

I'm wondering if it's possible to use other 3D objects rather than the
cube, dome, sphere etc, by adding new dae files. I guess there would
be quite a performance hit from using more complex models- have you
measured this at all?

Thanks

Hi Jo,

Yes, any 3D object can be used - but it will be a performance if you
use complex models at many locations.
Also remeber that its very difficult to measure the relative size of
3D objects, especially when seen in perspective.
