"Toller Rat - das soll es erledigen. Vielen Dank Hannes. mfG R"

"You could use the StreamFilter swithing between your normal data and a null. this will not actually disable anything but components will either return immediately or return an empty list, defacto disabling any subsequent component."

"David; first some feedback - I find your active participation and leadership in this forum just superb. A world class example of an innovator leading the way. Huge kudos to you! On this issue, if the datadam component had a boolean enabler this…"

"Thanks! another component I have not yet used. You can however achievethe same with the pick component - and the module will still get calculated so no speed up..."

"There's no disable/enable or hide/show for groups. It's something I could add easily enough, though it would override per-object enabled/hidden settings. The datadam object either works on a timer or on a mouse-click. You can insert it…"

"Maybe you can just pick up a certain group, by using the "Filter" component: If your condition results in False, Filter component will use the Group 1 output. If it results in True, it will use the Group 2 output."

"Thanks Mateusz! Looking at the component I cannot see how to control data flows through program logic; there is just a timer. What I need is something that prevents subsets of the model recalculating when they are not needed. One route may be to…"

"Try DataDam component. It's avaible in newest gh release."

"There's an update on the Thingiverse site and attached that correctly scales the open platform depths (but requires Hoopsnake). The bi-material platform now has a central print-through of the top layer material so 3D extruder printers have both…"

"Looks like fun!"

"Seems great! I'll take a close look at this. Thanks Rod. another interesting process : http://www.core77.com/blog/materials/rotational_moulding_diy_14214.asp"

"This takes a combination of your ideas and tries to automate some of the curve cleaning. Both in DWG and AI formats, illustrator scribes duplicate paths - many with realy very tiny self intersection glitches. Reconstructing as many non-duplicate,…"

"Firstly David; wow! Getting up this morning and finding such a comprehensive response was waaay beyond my expectations. Thank you. After my initial post I indeed twigged to the DWG export as a means to set up better initial surface logic, though…"
