Method to Turn "Bake" Option OFF for Skindesigner

by Usmi H

Feb 28, 2022

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if there is a way I can turn the bake feature off when I activate the panels. It is a built in function as you know and sometimes it takes very long to bake the panels in the Rhino viewport. Is there a way that we can turn that off and link it with a rectangle node in GH to get just a GH surface and then we can run different optimizations. After reinstating the optimized configuration, we can bake it in the Rhino viewport. 
Please let me know if it can be done.

Thanks a lot :)
