2 questions : I have not found any solution to this so Here my question. We have large GH project, 2 components are far away each other and to view both a large zoom scale is needed. a fast way to connect the wires ? If I zoom in and start dragging it takes forever and You get lost, fr…

I would attest to @qythium ’s post. Telepathy can help you organize your canvas in very distinct groups, separated according to functionality. In an example bellow, there is a small definition where all inputs are on the left, and all outputs on the right: that way, no matter how many such groups …

In my experience it is best to avoid letting definitions get that big in the first place. Once a gh file gets really large, it’s pretty unlikely it will solve interactively, so there’s not a whole lot of benefit keeping it all together. [image] Louis_Leblanc: You can also look at breaking your …

Thanks for all the valuable info. I am aware that big GH definitions should be avoided and clean separation and organization is a must, but when you are searching for a solution the project gets messy, once found the path then you can rebuild and organize it.

For those of us who have to maintain compatibility with Rhino5, is there any way via Python/C# scripting for data trees to be serialized into a file and referenced from another Grasshopper definition? I’ve been using data = clr.Serialize(param.VolatileData[0][0].Value)andparam.SetPersistentData(clr…

[image] qythium: via Python/C# scripting for data trees to be serialized into a file and referenced from another Grasshopper definition @dave_stasiuk ’s Pack Data and Unpack Data from TreeSloth does this (if I recall correctly). Maybe have a look at those.

Thanks David, I have Rhino6 at home, but work hasn’t upgraded yet :frowning: Will check it out when i get a chance, sounds like very powerful functionality.

[image] gerryark: Is there a way to hide all the connections and see only those for the selected component ? this will simplify a lot when it comes to read a GH project made long time ago or by someone else in theory yes. If you own a copy of Grasshopper Professional you can at least colour…

[image] TomTom: If you own a copy of Grasshopper Professional You mean the Corporate license? ps. Wire colours can be editing by modifying the grasshopper_gui.xml file: <item name="wire_default" type_name="gh_drawing_color" type_code="36"> <ARGB>150;0;0;0</ARGB> </item> <item name="wire_e…

@dave_stasiuk’s Pack Data and Unpack Data from TreeSloth does this (if I recall correctly). Maybe have a look at those.
