While we're adding time properties to scenery models we need to add priority 
(or object type) and range properties to models as well.

Priority/object type will be needed in future to allow certain objects like 
landmarks to take priority over less important objects like trees when the 
user adjusts the amount of 3D objects to be shown. (sparse <--> dense)
A sky scraper should also take priority over a town house although both are 
buildings.

A range property would be useful for only displaying objects that are within 
"visible range".
For instance the user may select to show all 3D objects within a 50 km radius. 
However a tree is barely visible from 10 km unlike a sky scraper which is 
visible from a long way off.
