Abstract
An exemplary method for displaying replicated geographic data in a three-dimensional environment includes identifying a first node in a node tree including an instance set. The exemplary method also includes identifying a collection referenced by the instance set. The exemplary method further includes identifying a second node in the node tree including the collection referenced by the instance set, a depth of the first node in the node tree being greater than a depth of the second node in the node tree. The exemplary method also includes identifying a model in the collection, the model being referenced by the instance set and the instance set including location data for replicated instances in the instance set. The exemplary method further includes displaying the first node, where displaying the first node includes displaying model data in the collection at the locations specified by the instance set.
