Rhino 8 GH1 Grids, Baking & some Concerns discussion continued

There is a lot to digest in your Create Column Grids.gh file. A few initial reactions:

  1. When I open the file, the first thing I see is the “Add Grid Bubbles” area where a Query Model Objects component refers to geometry by layer. That’s confusing because I wonder how the geometry got onto the layer?

  2. Then it is startling to realize it was baked without warning by the “Add Grid Lines & Names” code on the left side of the canvas. Makes me wonder if closing and re-opening the file will cause duplicate baked geometry? But that doesn’t happen - why not?

  3. The circles around the text labels are duplicated but that appears to be deliberate (see image), not a baking anomaly. Why the duplicate circles?

  1. I’m always confused by GH files that set “Don’t draw any preview geometry” because all my usual methods for understanding the code don’t work.

  2. Your “Grid Spacing” code begins with two identical text panels wired to two Mass Addition components that produce the same results. That makes me wonder why?

  3. Relays do nothing for me.

P.S. Found the answer to my question #2: Update vs. Insert mode?
