Removing cache name from bake object

Grasshopper
1

Further to this discussion, is there a way to remove the bake cache from an object after it has been baked? @kike The user case is as follows:

Create a bunch of objects with a cache name assigned.

Cache
Cache2180×800 93 KB

One of the objects needs to be modified manually. If at a later date, I re-bake the grasshopper component, those manual modifications will be lost and I can’t see anywhere where the bake name is stored.

In contrast to the out-of-the-box component, Elefront’s bake component stores the cache name as user text with the object, which allows you to simply delete the user text, meaning if you re-bake the objects, the modified element will remain.

Is there a solution to this with the out-of-the-box components? How can I disassociate an object from a bake name after it has been baked?

What does this mean? Do you mean right-click on cache and pressing bake? Won’t that just result in duplicate elements everywhere?

I wanted to put the link in here for good measure. Not sure currently how it’s supposed to work for a single item. I also liked the bake name in EleFront.

Hi @parametricmonkey1,

Something like this will Push several objects and Bake the second one from the cache.

Or you can Pull after and Bake it like this.

@kike I was hoping for a simple Rhino solution that could be done manually. Filtering out elements before re-baking them from Grasshopper isn’t a viable solution for me.

This article explains the cache component pretty well. But I must say I don’t find the component very intuitive. If I ‘push’ geometry, make a manual modification, and then ‘bake’ geometry, it updates ALL geometry. You would think it should just create duplicates.

This should just bake item 1
