Grasshopper wishlist

Hi, David

I want to offer a few wishes.

1. State manager on remote Control panel(I think its good idea).

2. More tools for annotations (arrow, circle, ellipse, rectangle).

3. Change the position and the grouping of the sliders on the remote control panel.

4. Separate viewport(look at picture)

5. Cluster editor new wish

My version grasshopper 0.8.0004

Best Regards,Valentin

You cannot suggest that without providing this:

Either that or get Brian Eno to do something with the actual data being passed around!

In the same vein as my last wish: some way of controlling updating.

Two use cases

I'm reconnecting something that has computationally heavy consequences, each time I connect a wire it recomputes. It's too mild to disable the solver by clicking, but annoying enough to break flow.
An example solution would be: Hold a key to pause the solver and re-enable it once it is released.
I'm fiddling about with a subsystem that has computationally heavy consequences. The subsystem is very simple, so it can update in real time. I want to be able to make these real time updates and then propagate at a later date.
An example solution would be: Isolate a sub-graph using a group and make that group have a data dam on all the wires that cross it's edge (going out only maybe).

The idea with both of these is to be able to isolate sections of a big construction and work on them without too much of an overhead. Disabling the next node along, putting in data dams or turning off the solver are all quite time consuming/distracting - these should be fast, disposable workflow things.

Hi!

I have a new wishlist item:

A "scalpel" feature that allows you to quickly disconnect wires by just "slicing" across wires to disconnect them. Similar to a crossing selection window across a wire to disconnect.

what do you think?!

Best,

Ian

+1 with this wish :-)

A "disconnect all inputs" native component function would be highly appreciated as well. It would be useful after copy pasting snippets f.ex.

Cheers!

It's already there Xavier:

Yep, you can disconnect all wires coming to a specific input, but (from what I know), you cannot disconnect all wires from all inputs in a single clic.

This could be useful with big components taking a lot of inputs.

Ah, I see what you mean now.
To do that you can select the component who's inputs you want to disconnect, hit Ctrl+left arrow (Shift Upstream) and then Ctrl+X followed by Ctrl+V.
