Polygons Must Not Intersect Error Doesn't Clear

Post by CountyLine »

I inadvertently created a zone that crossed itself, which of course resulted in a Polygons Must Not Intersect error. I immediately corrected the error by editing the relevant zone points to eliminate the crossing. However, ZM refused to let me save the corrected zone, insisting the error still existed when it clearly did not.

In order to proceed, I had to delete the zone and recreate it from scratch. I found a reference to this problem in a 1.30.x post. It looks like the problem has never been corrected or has resurfaced.

Just thought I would mention it.

Edit: Using 1.34.0 on Debian Sid.

Hello,

I just had exactly the same problem and correcting the zone wasn't possible for me either.
The zone was accepted in daylight, but when I wanted to make changes to the zone in nightlight, this was no longer possible. No matter what I did, Zoneminder always gave the message "Polygons Must Not Intersect".
The only thing that helped was deleting the zone and re-creating an error-free zone.

I am using Zoneminder version v1.36.33, so the error is still present in this version.

Best regards
