Fantastic!  I'll download the latest snapshot.

Thanks,

I have been running into some odd issues near some of the edges which I originally thought might be overcome by modifying my Boolean operations.  However, after quite a bit of testing I found the problem occurs for even a simple script:

I finally discovered that this does not occur in version 3.0.6 of gmsh but it does occur in version 4.0.4.  Have you seen this behavior?  I presume this is a bug or there is a flag of some kind that I need to set?

This is now fixed in Git.

Cheers,
