[osg-users] Ground clamping to paging terrain

Hi, I want to position something (let's say a building) to a terrain. Currently I'm getting the Z value for the building doing this with an osgUtil::IntersectVisitor and that works fine for static terrains. When I run on a paging terrain (like one from osgEarth) and I position the building,

Brett, Installing a ReadCallback on your IntersectionVisitor will allow it to traverse PagedLODs so you can intersect with the highest LOD. Look at osgSim::HeightAboveTerrain for a demonstration of the technique. If you don't like that approach, you could install an
