Dynamically adjust segments on plane

[David Di Biase]

Hi there,

My application uses a lot of planar elements with the basic amount of segments as possible. The problem is when rotating a segment I'm getting weird perspective issues - this I expected. To solve this I'd like to dynamically increase the segments of a node on stage without effecting how it appears at that moment. Then perform my rotation, then reduce the segments. All without removing the plane from stage.

Is this possible or not?

Thanks!

Dave

I think that's *precisely* what the "precise" BitmapMaterial property does ;)

Sorry, I'm confused. I'm using a MovieMaterial for all my planes.

You are essentially talking about precision on the material.  Just set  
material.precise = true and it will add more triangles to be drawn as  
needed;

Ohhhhh fantastic. Now if I set the precise property to false will it readjust the triangles?
