Mesh Angle Bug

Hello Michael,

Looks like there may be a bug in the view mesh angle.

Try this:
. start MoI
. create a circle
. planar it to create a disc
. delete the circle, just leaving the disc
. open the options and change the mesh angle to something silly like 100, the display updates to be very coarse.
. change the mesh angle to 10. Display updates again.
. save the file
. close MoI
. open MoI and the file again
. change the mesh angle to 100. Display doesn't update.

EDITED: 18 Apr 2009 by -ASH-

Hi Tony, yup that is a bug, thanks for reporting it. I've got it fixed up now for the next release.

There is a new display mesh mechanism which is meant to detect when a face has not been changed between operations, and just copy the face's display mesh over in that case instead of calculating a completely new mesh.

That's not fully working yet but once it is it should help to speed up operations that only affect a small area of a solid, the idea is to only calculate a new mesh for altered faces.

But this mechanism is kicking in accidentally in this case, when you actually want the mesh to be recalculated to match the new settings.

- Michael

Righto, Michael,

In the meantime closing and re-opening the file does the trick :-)
