But, the LOD is the bounding sphere of everything under it. So, the bounding sphere of the high-LOD road and trees will be nearly the same as the low-LOD version. > But I guess thats no problem because the road segment sphere is so huge it > roughly encases all the "little" tree bounding spheres and thus the group > node bounding sphere of the road and the trees would roughly be of the size > of the road sphere.

If it's important to you, you could always set the center and radius manually, so that they're always the same. -- Chris 'Xenon' Hanson, omo sanza lettere.
