Mass Addition issue

Grasshopper

Hi,
I’ve been encountering an issue with Mass Addition component: it seems that past a given value the component “overloads” and refuses to compute further.

Here the threshold where it stops working

Here’s the file to reproduce

Edit: i see this has been mentioned here already, i didnt really get if it’s supposed to be solved already.

Thanks Wim, so there’s no fix to come for v1 right?

Hi Quentin -

I wouldn’t say this is completely impossible, but it sounds like the workaround is somewhat painless?

Yep it is, was just wondering. Anyway thanks for your answer.

Agreed. Leave R7 as is. The work-around (divide by 1000000) is practical for other reasons; working large areas as square meters instead of square millimeters, for example

Yeah ok, in the end i was just asking if a SUM component was about to be fixed: request didn’t seem excessive, especially in terms of continuous improvement.
Plus my issue is that we’re mainly working with rhino.compute which makes debugging (especially in prod) a bit more tedious.

Anyway there’s indeed a workaround so that’ll do it for now.

I was about to say that GH2 support variable-size integers, vastly increasing the range of possible values. But then it turned out the range expressions in GH2 were limited to 32-bit integers. I’ve fixed that now.

Wait… is it suspicious that the sum total ends with six zeroes?
