Property	Format	Description
blend	Decimal	The blend between the LandClasses.

LandClasses #

The LandClasses { } wraps several LandClass { } nodes that describe an individual region's color as defined by altitudes.

Property	Format	Description
name	Text	The name of the LandClass.
color	Color	The color to be applied to the LandClass.
altitudeStart	Decimal	The starting altitude of the LandClass. NOTE: Altitude is measured in fractions of valid PQS height: altitude = (vertexHeight - vertexMinHeightOfPQS) / vertexHeightDeltaOfPQS.
altitudeEnd	Decimal	The ending altitude of the LandClass. Follows same measurement unit as altitudeStart.
lerpToNext	Boolean	Whether to blend into the next LandClass. Highly recommended to set to true on all but the last LandClass.
