Merge Suggestion

What is Glview? Why does "Glview" redirect here? Has somebody deleted the primary article about it? --Andreasen 10:35, 15 Sep 2007 (PDT)

The history for the page "Glview" shows that the redirection was done by Ts2do in December 2005. --Jurgen Knops 11:54, 15 Sep 2007 (PDT)
I can find much information about glview at Optimization (Geometry) and Controlling Geometry Visibility and Compile Times (which are poorly constructed pages too). We should seriously consider merging these three pages to create a stand-alone glview page. I'm a sucker for easy-to-read step-by-step instructions though, so don't let the merge destroy the information on Using glview. --Andreasen 09:19, 16 Sep 2007 (PDT)

Command line

The switch for glview's .exe to get the visleafs to show seems to be -portal, not -portals. At least for orange box. Is this just me or should an edit be made? --NicoleBee 00:14, 18 Feb 2008 (PST)

From what I can find it is -portals for EP1, one should check it for real before editing? Here's the old VERC documentation --Peter [AGHL] 01:12, 18 Feb 2008 (PST)
