Hi Mohamad,<br>
<br>
Did you add a data array "GhostLevels" to specify for each cell its<br>
ghost level ?<br>
It's an unsigned char data array where the values are the depth into<br>
the next block for of each cell.<br>
By that I mean:<br>
- 0 is the cells of the current block<br>
- 1 is the set of cells that share points in the current block and the<br>
neighbor one.<br>
<br>
Seb<br>
