I would like to disable the component circled in blue while maintaining the information circled in red. The problem is that when I disable the “Read Excel Component” , all the data circled in red disappears and so does the rest of my geometry. The “Read Excel Component” is causing grasshopper to lag so that is why I would like to disable/enable it automatically based on an event that occurs upstream.
Thanks for the response. But I would like to have it such that I do not have to manually reconnect the wire every time. I want it to update automatically whenever the data changes. So it will be almost like the data is internalized temporarily, but when the data changes it updates and then re-internalizes. Is this possible?
you might try a Data Dam component between the Excel and the Explode Tree
but consider that data inside the Data Dam will not survive a file open/close
Used the data dam and it does help to get the workflow to behave the way I want it to. However, the Data Dam component itself is causing the lag now. I suppose there is no other work around for this?
I could of course delete it and then add it back, but that makes my script a bit user-unfriendly.
