Entity Type LODs (representations)

This is continued documentation about Entity LODs (representations) and how you can assign defaults through an Entity Type.

This is a common way to achieve repeated graphics for a large set of records.
For example the same tree model for all trees.

An Entity LOD will override the Entity Type LOD.
