I thought this question would be easy to answer, but after almost an hour of googling, I couldn’t find anything. What is the relay component/object? It is found params > util> relay. I was given a grasshopper definition that uses it. It doesn’t seem to do anything cause when I removed it, my defi…

Oh, man that was simple. It’s basically a wire tie. Thanks!

It’s basically a typeless parameter component, offering nothing more than the same functionality that has always been there prior to R6. Like other trivial changes to basic components (Multiplication, Evaluate Surface, etc.), it’s primary effect is to make R6 models incompatible with R5.
