}

• a Material or Texture index with default value (-1) has no face/material associated with it and consequently the bounds are zero

• In odol7 TextureIndexes and FaceFlags existed for every LodFace in the LodFace Structure, and repeated (as a block) here.
• In Arma they are removed from the LodFaces.
