Description

Toggle between optimal and sub-optimal (fast) string linking methods.

If turned ON, when linking strings the wireframe is created optimally with the best surface being selected from those that satisfy the linking criterion.
If turned OFF linking is done with tag strings - either provided by you, or if none exist then the closest pair of points on the two strings after translation to a common centre of gravity will form an implicit tag string. Each pair of tag strings is linked independently. The speed advantage of the sup- optimal increases with an increasing number of string points. If the sub-optimal method fails then linking will default to the optimal method.
