Calculations for LI messed up?

[Imagin Illyar]

I can't understand how SL calculates LI for mesh.  I'm building some railing.  One straight piece and one corner piece.  The LI for the corner is higher, and that just doesn't make sense.  The 2 models are built the same way, the corner has way more polys but is lower LI - how can this be?  All else is the same for both.  The screenshots below show all default (nothing changed on other tabs) settings just to test.

Corner - 1 piece, 3 UDIMs, 554 polys - 0.790 LI

Straight - 1 piece, 3 UDIMs, 210 polys - 1.268 LI

The second one has more triangles on lowest LOD which factors heavily into the calculation. That's probably where the issue is, if the second model isn't bigger.

You were right!  Thank you so much for replying.  I thought I tried everything.

Also keep in mind that LI is not perfect. I have uploaded the exact same object before, with the exact same settings, and got 2 different LI

Yup, I have noticed this recently too.
