The old topic for Dynamic Lighting feature has been auto-closed.  I just tried it, and it mostly worked.  However, my map has three perfectly round "rooms" which are tree platforms.   Drawing circles on the dynamic lighting layer does not block vision at all, only rectangles and polygons work. The circles are bright green.  The polygon drawn for trouble-shooting is in black: This pretty much covers my feedback - I'll live with it.

Hi Dan, You were likely on an older page. If the page you are on is more than two(?) months old you can't post on that page. I just checked on the last page, and the thread is still open. I would suggest copying this post to that thread if you want to make sure it is seen by the dev team.

It's strongly advised to never use circles or curves on the Dynamic Lighting layer. You're unlikely to get much traction reporting this as a bug, since it's already documented that it doesn't work well at all.

Ha! I go so caught up in checking that the official thread had not been closed, that I totally forgot to read the issue. <Head slap>. Sorry. Yeah, circles don't work on DL. Too many angles to calculate. The recommended solution is to approximate them with polygons.

Haha, it was still useful information :) Just didn't want OP waiting for a response in that big old thread to a very much known limitation (also it's not specific to UDL).

If your using circles try using the API Script called DLEllipseDrawer which converts circles into a series of segments after you draw them. A good compliment script is Path Splitter for making half circles for more precise rounded coves and rooms.
