capsulation for GH ?

Hi, David and Grasshoppers,

May I ask if there's a function in GH to pack a group of GH nodes into one with inputs and outputs (similar to the Digital Assets concept and function in the Houdini software)?

The massive network of a huge amount of GH nodes is just too overwhelming sometimes as a GH project grow more and more complicated ......

It'll be great if a group of GH nodes performing a specific task can be capsulated into one "component" node.

Just a suggestion.

Hello,

These are currently called 'clusters.' The developer is working on improving its features, but the current implementation works well if you are willing to adhere to certain rules and a test a few times before getting it 100% right.

To do this you sort of need to prototype the components you want to cluster, then detatch/copy them elsewhere. Replace the Inputs with Cluster Input Arrows (you can double click to further describe the input). Anything you want to be an output, connect to a Cluster Output arrow. (this is my workflow, surely others will go about it differently)
