Hi Jon, Filling zones has already this progress window. Grid pattern just can modify the calculation time due to more vertices in zone outlines. > > On Tue, Mar 13, 2018 at 3:28 PM, jp charras <jp.char...@wanadoo.fr > <mailto:jp.char...@wanadoo.fr>> > wrote: > > Le 13/03/2018 à 18:24, Seth Hillbrand a écrit : > > Hi JP- > > > > I gave it a spin and definitely like it!
