Grasshopper component wire display dependent on distance between components / length of wire

Grasshopper
1

Is this somehow possible? Because that’s basically my criterium for making them visible or hidden.

you could hack this with metahopper…

thanks for both options. I like the compact solution @Mahdiyar posted.

There are 2 issues:

  • it doesn’t work on relays
  • all my telepathy components get affected. How do I cancel these from being selected?

found this one by selecting them out with (obj.Name != “Remote Receiver”)
