Short description of error
I think it needs to fix because small metaballs can't show correctly. T75999

I created a metaball with 5 mm radius.


but these values is lower than minimum limit (5 mm).

I can't change it to a smaller value because of limits.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Add a metaball of 5 mm radius (resolution will be of 1mm)
  2. Try changing the resolution to a smaller value.
  3. Meta ball will no longer be visible (as resolution will reset to it's minimum value: 5mm)

Event Timeline

Hi, thanks for the report. This is an intentional behavior as @Germano Cavalcante (mano-wii) said in T75999: Can't change Metaball Resolution lower than 5mm

But as described in this report, it fails for the object with smaller radius (meta ball disappears on changing the resolution).

Will keep the report open for developers to answer.
