I would like to do something similar to what’s described in this post:
The main idea is to store large .3dm files in the VM where Compute is running, so that it they can be accessed locally as inputs for Compute in GH definitions and avoid sending them over from the client to the server.
Is this possible to access files within the VM from Compute as inputs? If so, can you please give me some pointers how? Thanks!
I don’t see why this would be an issue. I would have a simple list of potential filenames you would actually use as the input to the definition, then in the definition, you parse that string, match it to a local file, and then load that local file with the Import3dm component, or import it into a headless doc via script, etc.
