With the increasing need for volumetric B-spline representations and the lack of methodologies for creating semi-structured volumetric B-spline representations from B-spline Boundary Representations (B-Rep), hybrid approaches combining semi-structured volumetric B-splines and unstructured Bézier tetrahedra have been introduced, including one that transforms a trimmed B-spline B-Rep first to an untrimmed Hybrid B-Rep (HB-Rep) and then to a Hybrid Volume Representation (HV-Rep). Generally, the effect of -refinement has not been considered over B-spline hybrid representations. Standard refinement approches to tensor product B-splines and subdivision of Bézier triangles and tetrahedra must be adapted to this representation. In this paper, we analyze possible types of -refinement of the HV-Rep. The revised and trim basis functions for HB- and HV-rep depend on a partition of knot intervals. Therefore, a naive -refinement can change basis functions in unexpected ways. This paper analyzes the the effect of -refinement in reducing error as well. Different -refinement strategies are discussed. We demonstrate their differences and compare their respective consequential trade-offs. Recommendations are also made for different use cases.
