Far Model

Defines a rectangular area in which, if the camera is inside it, the view distance property of child items is ignored and items are rendered even if their distances exceed the usual limit of 1500 m.

Child items can be either dedicated models defined in /def/world/far_model.sii or regular map items. In the latter case, item types that can be parented by a Far Model are Bezier Patch, Buildings, Curve, Model, and Terrain.
