Hi Ramin,

If you didn't find an answer by yourself, you may be interested by the 
following.

If the 3D mesher refines only the surface, it should return 0 (because 
in this case the mesher updates the status of newly created triangles 
before updating the status of newly created tetrahedra).

If the 3D mesher is also refines the volume, then it could return 
something different than 0.

Please let me know in which case you are, and don't hesitate to provide 
more details about your concern.

NB: I just tried to run the example Mesh_3/mesh_implicit_sphere with the 
same monitoring as you, and I saw lots of '1'.

Best,
