 The simplest way to determine appropriate position and rotation values is by trial and error. We recommend adjusting rotation before position as the transforms are applied in this order.
 
+:::info
+AdvantageScope simplifies model geometry automatically to improve performance, where the level of detail depends on the selected [rendering mode](../tab-reference/3d-field.md#rendering-modes). In cases where model simplification produces undesired effects with custom assets, two solutions can be used:
+
+- To disable automatic removal of a particular mesh, include the string `NOSIMPLIFY` in the mesh name.
+- To disable model simplification for an entire robot model, set the `disableSimplification` option in the configuration to `true`.
