[osg-users] Geometries disappearing at optimization

[Robert Osfield]

HI Andreas,

Thanks for test model with this I'm able to reproduce the bug.  I'm
now investigating this issue and have a workaround that prevent the
4th geometry from going missing but I'm really not happy with is it
doesn't actually fix the root cause of the problem.

Ideally we want geometries sets that when combined exceed the target
number of vertices to be regrouped into batches, each batch under the
limit.  We don't want to remove this limit as from my own testing
geometries with too many vertices tend to perform worse than sets of
geometries with a moderate number of vertices.

Robert.
