Loop itteration with time delay

Hey guys

I am trying to use attached VB code in GH to show the vertical pipes increasing in diameter over a series of small iterations so that people can see its diameter growing in time. I wrote a while loop with a time delay so that it would output variable A in .1 increments modifying the pipe diameter through time.

 

Problem: My computer is not showing the in between stages of diameter incremental increases, only the beginning and final diameters. I cant imagine my computer is too slow to process that little loop and update the graphics, there must be something wrong with the code??? What am I missing?

Thanks for the insight!

    Hi McK,

     

    Grasshopper is not an animation package so if you want to show a process which happens within a single solution, you're going to have to do a lot of hacking. You will also run into problems for if you refresh the viewports during a Grasshopper solution a lot of the preview geometry will be missing.

     

    I'll take a look at your files, see if I can come up with something.
