Divided Surface Overshoot in Partial border mode. Can it be adjusted or eliminated?

[dbroad]

Why does the border of a divided surface using adaptive curtain panels overshoot the actual border by 2"?  I tried to find this answer but couldn't.  Here is a picture of a conceptual mask for a lattice using a rhomboidal pattern.  Notice that the model is larger than what the edges should be.  Is there a workaround?  This is in an orthographic view (west) in a project with mass turned on and mass nodes turned off.

That is a known issue since the dawn of day. A workaround is model it to account for the 2" offset.

@ToanDN & @barthbradley Thanks.  I guess that's the answer, not that I like the solution but it's in the hands of the developers.

Actually, the one good thing about this BUG! (yes! I said it!) is that it is consistent. It is always exactly 2-inches, so the workaround always works perfectly.  Probably better to describe it as a "workflow" rather that a "workaround".  Autodesk ought to just own it now and stop updating the Incident Report every year with the same old Status line:  "This incident is being investigated for a possible cause and resolution."  

BULL-SH*T!
