Description

Some layers in the ArcGlobe document may be very expensive to render, reducing the responsiveness of interactive navigation through the 3D view.  When this option is set to True, the layer will not display while navigating, thereby freeing up resources to improve the interactive navigation experience.  When navigation halts, the layer will be displayed again.

The view is said to be navigating when the Globe Camera is moving continuously.  For example, using the Fly Tool will set the ‘while navigating’ state to true and cause layer drawing to be suspended appropriately.  When the Fly Tool halts, the ‘while navigating’ state is set to false and layer will draw.  An example of a navigation technique which does not set the ‘while navigating’ state to true is the mouse-wheel zoom in.  This functionality uses discrete steps to zoom in and is therefore not a continuous navigation event.

This option may not be preferred when outputting animation files, as the animation framework will set the ‘while navigating’ status to true and the resulting video will not include display of this layer.
