	<members>
		<member name="cast_shadow" type="int" setter="set_cast_shadows_setting" getter="get_cast_shadows_setting" enum="GeometryInstance.ShadowCastingSetting" default="1">
			The selected shadow casting flag. See [enum ShadowCastingSetting] for possible values.
		</member>
		<member name="extra_cull_margin" type="float" setter="set_extra_cull_margin" getter="get_extra_cull_margin" default="0.0">
			The extra distance added to the GeometryInstance's bounding box ([AABB]) to increase its cull box.
		</member>
		<member name="generate_lightmap" type="bool" setter="set_generate_lightmap" getter="get_generate_lightmap" default="true">
			When disabled, the mesh will be taken into account when computing indirect lighting, but the resulting lightmap will not be saved. Useful for emissive only materials or shadow casters.
		</member>
		<member name="lightmap_scale" type="int" setter="set_lightmap_scale" getter="get_lightmap_scale" enum="GeometryInstance.LightmapScale" default="0">
			Scale factor for the generated baked lightmap. Useful for adding detail to certain mesh instances.
		</member>
		<member name="lod_max_distance" type="float" setter="set_lod_max_distance" getter="get_lod_max_distance" default="0.0">
			The GeometryInstance's max LOD distance.
			[b]Note:[/b] This property currently has no effect.
		</member>
		<member name="lod_max_hysteresis" type="float" setter="set_lod_max_hysteresis" getter="get_lod_max_hysteresis" default="0.0">
			The GeometryInstance's max LOD margin.
			[b]Note:[/b] This property currently has no effect.
		</member>

			The GeometryInstance's min LOD distance.
			[b]Note:[/b] This property currently has no effect.
		</member>

			The GeometryInstance's min LOD margin.
			[b]Note:[/b] This property currently has no effect.
		</member>
		<member name="material_overlay" type="Material" setter="set_material_overlay" getter="get_material_overlay">
			The material overlay for the whole geometry.
			If a material is assigned to this property, it will be rendered on top of any other active material for all the surfaces.
		</member>
		<member name="material_override" type="Material" setter="set_material_override" getter="get_material_override">
			The material override for the whole geometry.
			If a material is assigned to this property, it will be used instead of any material set in any material slot of the mesh.
		</member>
		<member name="use_in_baked_light" type="bool" setter="set_flag" getter="get_flag" default="false">
			If [code]true[/code], this GeometryInstance will be used when baking lights using a [GIProbe] or [BakedLightmap].
		</member>

		</constant>
		<constant name="LIGHTMAP_SCALE_MAX" value="4" enum="LightmapScale">
		</constant>
		<constant name="SHADOW_CASTING_SETTING_OFF" value="0" enum="ShadowCastingSetting">
			Will not cast any shadows.
		</constant>
		<constant name="SHADOW_CASTING_SETTING_ON" value="1" enum="ShadowCastingSetting">
			Will cast shadows from all visible faces in the GeometryInstance.
