Help I didn’t save yet

Hello,
I have been developping a script during 3 hours not saving anything new rhino and new grasshopper file i did mistake and now it doesnt stop to bug is there a way to dont loose everything ?

Thanks :confused:

Is there a chance it come to life ? Should i wait ? Quit ?

Well, it depends how patient you are.

In these situations I typically cut my losses and hope for the best. Knowing that the worst case scenario is 3 hrs lost work but hopefully now I know what I need to do and just reimplement it without having to think and design the algorithm from scratch.

That being said almost always if I hard quit Rhino/GH with the Task Manager (On Windows) and reopen Rhino and the same script it will prompt me for a recovery file to open.

Always make sure to disable the solver first before reopening that file though. In case what made it hang for so long got saved you don’t want to re-run it and immediately lock it up again.

Typically crazy long compute times or freezes have been from a grafting error like when you connect a grafted list to a long flattened list and suddenly now you’re comparing 2000 items for every 2000 branches instead of 1 for 1 2000 times.

Anyways, just force quit it, reboot, and hope for the recovery to kick in.

Also in your GH screenshot it looks like you’re using the Solid Difference component on itself? You have the same relay connecting to both A and B but also have a wireless input in B? I’m confused what’s going on there…

Good luck!
