 When you change resolution the model will recompute from scratch.  Any properties that have a corresponding resolution curve will adjust to the new setting.  So, properties like Branch Length Segments, Branch Radial Segments, and Leaf Mesh LOD will all be affected by a resolution change. When you change resolution the model will recompute from scratch.  Any properties that have a corresponding resolution curve will adjust to the new setting.  So, properties like Branch Length Segments, Branch Radial Segments, and Leaf Mesh LOD will all be affected by a resolution change.

 Most properties that affect polygonal resolution have corresponding resolution curve properties.  They're marked by their orange color and resolution markings in the curve editor. For example, look at the "Segments" group on the branch generator (pictured below). Most properties that affect polygonal resolution have corresponding resolution curve properties.  They're marked by their orange color and resolution markings in the curve editor.

 The "Segments:Resolution:Length" and "Segments:Resolution:Radial" properties are curves that modify the length and radial segments based on the currently selected resolution. To edit these properties, select the curve and the [[toolcurve_editor|Curve Editor]] will open. The "Segments:Resolution:Length" and "Segments:Resolution:Radial" properties are curves that modify the length and radial segments based on the currently selected resolution.
