Yesterday Custom Preview component started to take a lot of time to function. I’m talking around 5 to 7 seconds. It even got to freeze and crash Rhino.
I use GH every day and this has never happened before.
Has anyone else suffer this error?
Is there a new update coming to Rhino 7 and grasshopper? It is very frustrating.
Another thing that is also happening is that UNDO command got very slow.
I recently installed the latest V-ray version. I’m not sure if this could be affecting Rhino since a couple of v-ray commands are not working.

I also recently installed Lightmap Node for Rhino… Now even selecting object is taking for ever.
Weird thing is that I’ve been using V-ray since forever and everything worked fine. Maybe is Lightmap?
But I installed it a few days ago and Rhino was working fine.
Lets try running Rhino in safe mode (via window apps), this will load with no video drivers or plugins. Accept the plugin loads to get grasshopper open.
If its OK there, lets disable plugins that do not ship with Rhino (File>Properties>Plugins the filter by do not ship with Rhino)
To Josephs point, can you show the tree branch going into your custom preview with the param viewer component? there could be a grafting situation causing extremely large amount items.
1- I runed windows update and Nvidia GPU updates. All is up to date now.
2- I runed R7 in safe mode, all good. GH started faster and custom display node worked fine, except that the geometry coming from GH was not visible in Rhino.
3- Runed R7 the regular way (new and empty file), GH worked fine, even custom display and geometry from GH was visible as usual. No slag in performance.
4- I opened a different file from the one that I’m having trouble with, it all worked fine, custom preview and color swatch worked fine. I could select, undo, move, smoothly.
5- I opened the file with problems. I undo, move, scale, drag, select,… etc … performance is just fine in R7.
Started GH with new file with no components or imported geometry. performance is ok… but as soon as I drag down Custom Preview module (which also is slow and mouse cursor with the plus sign stays active a few seconds), everything got slow again, undo in R7 got slow again. Selecting also… Shutting down GH and R7 also got slow.
6- Opened an early/previous date version of the R7 problematic file (where I had no problems) and an early version of GH file with the Custom Preview Node on canvas and everything got slow also.
7- Runed Rhino 5, Custom preview performed well and there was NO slowing down of performance in Rhino
Thoughts?
Sadly I can’t start a new R7 file… There is a lot of worked done in R7 and GH files. (year and half worth of work)
