      I'm offsetting a curved shape on the wall of a cylinder, then insetting the inner panel with Joint Push Pull. It spans 8 facets of the cylinder, and the outer curve has 20 line segments. I made sure all the vertexes of the curve lined up with the edges of the facets, to simplify the work.

      When I type in an amount for JPP (.125") the bottom right window shifts to: "Elts **** / 88% **.**sec" (where the asterisks are numbers rapidly ascending until they hit somewhere around Elts 1200 / 100% 55 sec, when the processing is over. If I manage to offset the surface accurately to 1/8" on my trackpad, it hardly takes any time.

      My question is, why the difference? What does "Elts" mean?

      Thanks,
      Jim

        I think Fredo6 is the best to answer this question.
