	Typically, this height adjustment is used when building a bridge or similar structure - the bulk of the model is maintained at the actual spline height, but the bottom vertices of the legs or supporting pillars are dropped to ground height.		Typically, this height adjustment is used when building a bridge or similar structure - the bulk of the model is maintained at the actual spline height, but the bottom vertices of the legs or supporting pillars are dropped to ground height.

			The offset and threshold values can be used where a spline consists of a base, which should always display at ground level at a fixed size, and a pylon or tower structure above the base with a height that varies with spline height above ground. Set the adjust-height-to-ground-threshold to a value that falls in the section of mesh that is above the base portion (the pylon) and set the adjust-height-to-ground-offset to the negative of the z-value of the lowest vertex of the base. The base will be positioned at ground level, the vertices between the bottom vertex of the base and the threshold value will be positioned relative to the ground, and the vertices above the threshold will be positioned relative to the spline height.

	If this boolean value is clear (0), the length of each component mesh is scaled to fit the available area in the spline. Since the number of repeats and subdivisions is integer, spline meshes are typically stretched or contracted slightly to ensure that the mesh repeats end-to-end.

Since the number of repeats and subdivisions is integer, spline meshes are typically stretched or contracted slightly to ensure that the mesh repeats end-to-end.
	If set (1), the mesh is rendered at its natural length, even if this means that meshes will overlap or stretch apart and not touch each other. This might typically used where a spline represents a set of repeating poles or pylons, rather than a continuous beam.		If set (1), the mesh is rendered at its natural length, even if this means that meshes will overlap or stretch apart and not touch each other. This might typically used where a spline represents a set of repeating poles or pylons, rather than a continuous beam. It is also commonly used for the spline endcaps, which are often modelled to a fixed size and should not be stretched or contracted.
