//       Class : LODSwitch
// Description : Defines a switching region for an LOD.  An object
//               will be visible when it is closer than "in" units,
//               but further than "out" units from the camera.
//
//               The sense of in vs. out distances is as if the object
//               were coming towards you from far away: it switches
//               "in" at the far distance, and switches "out" at the
//               close distance.  Thus, "in" should be larger than
//               "out".
