Changing the algorithm to resolve errors with FDZs

In rare instances, during Interactive and Batch partitioning, LEGION’s partitioning algorithm may leave gaps in the space to be covered or may plot inaccurate positions for the boundaries of FDZs. When this happens, changing the Boolean algorithm may resolve the problem. You can do this from the Tools > Options menu.

To change the partitioning algorithm:

  1. Select Tools > Options.

    The ‘Options’ dialog is displayed.

  2. Click on AutoFDZ Settings.
  3. Under ‘AutoFDZ partitioning engine’, select one of these options:
    • OpenGL – this is the default setting and is good for solving errors that may be caused by KBool, such as inaccurate boundaries.
    • KBool – this is good for avoiding the gaps in accessible space that OpenGL may sometimes leave.

    If your attempts to partition model space encounter both types of error, you can change the algorithm settings several times during Interactive Partitioning.

  4. Click Apply or OK to save your changes.

    These settings will hold until you change them or reinstall the software.

  5. Try Interactive or Batch Partitioning again.
