Distance Field enable but not working

[mnicbling1 (mnicbling)]

Hi! I have been trying to use the DistanceToNearestSurface node but is not making any change in the material. To be sure I also turned on the Visualize > Global Distance Fields and Mesh Distance Fields, but it show me the message that “Mesh distance fields generation is disabled by project settings, cannot visualize DFAO, mesh or global distance field.” even though is enable in the project.

What other setting could I be missing?

I can’t understand, if everything is included, how can it be that the distance field do…
