  • Use LOD: Enables/disables dynamic level of detail.

  • X1: Sets the x-coordinate for the first corner of the triangle.

  • Y1: Sets the y-coordinate for the first corner of the triangle.

  • X2: Sets the x-coordinate for the second corner of the triangle.

  • Y2: Sets the y-coordinate for the second corner of the triangle.

  • X3: Sets the x-coordinate for the third corner of the triangle.

  • Y3: Sets the x-coordinate for the third corner of the triangle.

  • X1=X2: Sets the same x-coordinate for the first and second corners of the triangle.

  • Y1=Y2:Sets the same y-coordinate for the first and second corners of the triangle.

  • Y1=Y3: Sets the same y-coordinate for the first and third corners of the triangle.

  • Y2=Y3: Sets the same y-coordinate for the second and third corners of the triangle.

  • Use Vertexcolors: Enables/disables setting color parameters for the corners of the triangle. If this option is set, the triangle does not respond to container color anymore.

    • Color 1: Sets the color and alpha of the first corner of the triangle. Press the colored button to enable color editing on that section and change the color in the color editor below. You can also drag a material from the Server Panel and onto the color icon.
