In commit e702e996 we have removed the possibility of using level!=0 in Mesh.hits, for the reason mentioned in [comment #1].

The following could be useful to replace it:

Mesh.getEdges() # construct the edges table
edge_selection = ...
Mesh.edges.hits(edge_selection)


or similarly with faces.

Then, keeping the Mesh.hits method only for level=0 is overkill, as one can just do Mesh.elems.hits(), which is nicely analoguous to the Mesh.edges.hits() and Mesh.faces.hits() explained above. So the Mesh.hits(level=0) has been deprecated (but not yet removed).

The difference is due to the node numbering. As stated in the methods doc string:

The numbering of the entities corresponds to self.insertLevel(level).

And it turns out that self.insertLevel(0) renumbers the nodes.
The new numbering is given in the lo from

hi,lo = self.insertLevel(0)

You can avoid the renumbering by using directly Mesh.elems.hits().

In the current form the Mesh.hits is not very useful. It could convert the node numbers itself, but that will only work for level 0. For other levels, users would still be required to know the edge or face numbering (could be the stored edges/faces).

Or we can just drop the Mesh.hits and let the user directly work on a connectivity table.

The Mesh.hits() is not counting correctly. See example.
