After working for anywhere from 15minutes to a hour on my large Grasshopper definition in Rhino6 I am always getting a Grasshopper out of memory warning, yet checking the Task Manager shows that Rhino is not using very much RAM at all: [Out%20of%20Memory%20Problem] I have 20GB RAM in this machine…

[image] LeoPedersen: on my large Grasshopper definition The keyword there is large. GDI+ doesn’t like drawing certain things very far away from the origin and it will throw those memory errors when it hiccups. The problem is not that you’re out of memory in toto, but rather that the amount of…

Ah ok that’s actually quite helpful to know. I’m in the final stages of a huge code cleanup for this definition by applying namespace practice to all components and their inputs/outputs and using Telepathy for all situations where outputs are connected to more than one input. In this process I’ve …

Another GOOD reason for keeping our definitions TIDY. The other is that the only good looking spaghetti messes are the ones served on a dish with sauce…

I’ve also encountered this problem in the past when dealing with larger definitons but have always used View > reset canvas to work around it… Does this mean that you should center your definitions around the starting area of the canvas? I’ve always looked at it like a frame where the starting area…

5100 components… :grimacing: That seems really excessive for one definition. Might be time to start breaking it up into logical processes of their own gh sub definitions or making each process its own cluster. Is it really necessary to use all 5100 in one shot? How good are you with lists and optim…

Thanks very much for your suggestions Michael I appreciate your thoughtful input. The definition is pretty well optimized already. It’s just an extremely detailed parametric model which generates electric guitars & basses according to the specs I input. Most of the Grasshopper code is relatively …

Well if there is indeed a problem with memory directly related to amount of component on canvas but you still like all the definition together, maybe start grouping parts of the definition into clusters. Say each cluster has 100 components in it, then you will have only 51 components (clusters) on t…

5100 components?:
