TLcdBinzModelDecoder where metadata could be skipped in BINZ version 5.

2021.1
New featureInfrastructure Standards
When you convert Binz data to OGC 3D Tiles in LuciadLightspeed (decoder.binz.bat sample) or LuciadFusion
(using an OGC3DTILES service), the conversion process (using TLcdBinzModelDecoder
followed by TLcdOGC3DTilesModelEncoder) now also calculates physically based rendering
(PBR) material properties from the material information which is always present in the Binz data.
The PBR properties are automatically added to the resulting OGC 3D Tiles data set during the conversion. No action is required on your part. If you have previously converted Binz data, however, you must process it again to have the PBR material properties calculated.
Client applications, such as LuciadRIA, can use these properties to generate more realistic images of an OGC 3D Tiles data set. It can result in highlights and reflections on the rendered objects.
Using the PBR material properties in LuciadRIA is not activated by default: you have to use the
pbrSettings of the meshStyle on the TileSet3DLayer.
Refer to the Styling mesh data article in the LuciadRIA documentation for more information on how to use this feature.
