Understanding LOD distances

Hi all,

I’m implementing a model visualization and would like to understanding better how to handle LODs.
Looking at the source, it seens that distances are always calculated based on a “fixed” _v2 point, in which LOD’s worldMatrix is applied.

In my use-case, it would make sense to get the distance from object’s center, so that no matter the side the camera looks from I could get the simpler or more complex object.

Here is the view I get from one side:

And here the view with the model rotated (other side). Almost the same distance from camera:

For this tests, I’m using Box3Helper to get a simplified Object3D from the original object:

    const b3 = new Box3().setFromObject(object);
    const hiddenBox = new Box3Helper(b3, 0x010101);
    hiddenBox.visible = false;

The idea of the last line, was to enforce the object to hide after certain distance, but seems like it doesn’t have effect because of this line.
How could I enforce an object to be invisible, to improve performance?

EDIT:
Solved this last part putting the Box3Helper with visible=false set inside a Group.

Thanks,
Felipe
