Switcher
A switcher is a cuboid shaped object, switching off (or turning on) all of the nodes inside of it immediately.
Notice
A world switcher should be a parent node for the nodes it controls.

Creating a Switcher
To create a world switcher, choose the Add World Switcher option in the list of nodes in Editor panel. In the creation dialog window, specify initial parameters:
A Creation Window
| Point | A flag, indicating if the distance to the object is counted from the bounding box center (if disabled, the distance will be counted from its nearest edge). |
|---|---|
| Size | The size of the switcher's bounding box along the X, Y and Z axes, in units. |
After the initial parameters are set, click Ok and place the world switcher somewhere in the world.
Editing a Switcher
In the Switcher tab you can adjust the following parameters of the switcher:

Bounding Box Parameters
A set of bounding box parameters:
| Point | A flag, indicating if the distance to the object is counted from the center of the bounding box (if disabled, the distance will be counted from its nearest edge). |
|---|---|
| Size | The size of the switcher's bounding box along the X, Y and Z axes, in units. |
| Offset | The offset of the switcher's bounding box along the X, Y and Z axes, in units. |
Switching Off Parameters
Switching of distances:
| Min distance | The minimum distance of visibility, in units. If a camera is closer to a node than this minimum distance, a node is not visible. |
|---|---|
| Max distance | The maximum distance of visibility, in units. If a camera is further from a node than this maximum distance, a node is not visible. |
