Hi. I am having an issue with display performance and I don’t understand it. Could someone help me and explain it, please?
-
Having 2 block definitions, distributed in Grasshopper to 57725 instances. Preview of “Model block instance” display performance is terrible. I can’t event rotate the view. Turning the component’s preview off solves the issue.
“TestMaxSpeed” = 106.34 seconds. (0.94 FPS) -
I plug in the “Explode object” component. Resulting in 57725 “Model mesh”. The preview performace get slightly better.
“Testmaxspeed” = 18.78 seconds. (5.32 FPS) -
Then I use exploded blocks and connect “Mesh param” component. Almost the same performance.
“Testmaxspeed” = 18.62 seconds. (5.37 FPS) -
Finally I join meshes.
“Testmaxspeed” = 1.64 seconds. (60.98 FPS)
I noticed that it takes some time to get from “Model block instance” to “Mesh” (joined). Is this the reason why it takes so long to preview Model block instances? The geometry displayed each time is exactly the same, that’s why I can’t understand this.
