Nuclideon Live Feed
A Live Feed displays real-time positional data from a remote feed in the scene. Each entity in the feed is represented by a model at its current position, updated on a configurable interval.
Creating a Live Feed
Click the Add Live Feed button in the toolbar. Enter the URL of the live feed endpoint in the dialog that appears.

- Update Frequency — How often (in seconds) the feed is polled for new data. Range: 5–300 seconds.
- Max Display Time — Entities that have not been updated within this time (in seconds) are hidden. Range: 30–604800 seconds (up to 7 days).
- Max Display Distance — Entities further than this distance (in metres) from the camera are hidden. Range: 1–100,000 m.
- LOD Modifier — Adjusts the level-of-detail threshold for entity models. Lower values reduce detail at distance; higher values increase it. Range: 0.01–5.0.
- Tween Enabled — Smoothly interpolate entity positions between updates rather than snapping.
- Snap to Map — Snap entity positions to the terrain surface (requires DEM/map tiles).
