s than 40% on average.2. 8gb usage is steady at 28% 3. I've been now looking at 2 blank white screen, in both Rhino and Grasshopper for well over 20 min. finally I went for a walk at 10:25am, (its a beautiful day why waste it looking at nonexistent calculations, It would help if there was a timing function in the code that would let me know how long the calculations were going to take, came back 11:25am still no results. Had to Quit Rhino in the Start manager.
I have used all sorts of window programs for well over 25 years. Rhino and Grasshopper are the only 2 programs that I have ever seen that show totally white screens in their operating windows :(

(probably during the course of installing some other apps)
Still Grasshopper is showing this error (I've installed the very latest build).
What do I do?…
, HVAC, blah blah).
BIM is NOT a parametric process at least having in mind graphical editors the likes of GH (or stuff the likes of Generative Components): it's a holistic data management approach. Some concepts used in BIM apps (for instance in AECOSim etc) the likes of "walls"/"openings" etc are "parametric" in the sense that allow auto perforation of this with that. On the other hand AECOSim is feature driven (since Microstation works in that "mode" as well) ... a thing that complex things even more with regard what is actually "parametric" and what not.
BIM is as good as the meta data structure is (especially the spec related aspect - Goggle MasterFormat and the likes). BIM AEC apps are notoriously incapable to work (without a lot of lines of code) with proper RDBMS. On the other hand Bentley Systems ProjectWise ... well ... but that's another animal (by no means a topic for the inexperienced).
In descending order or importance a contemporary AEC practice should use:
1. A general information "controller" like ProjectWise (who said/did what/when/why).
2. A Specs (say CSI - not the TV soap opera) management app.
3. Several Meta data RDBMS.
4. A BIM suite of apps.
5. Optionally some parametric thingy.
PS: For AEC ... when inviting the parametric thingy to the party you have only 2 options:
ProjectWise + AECOSim + Generative Ciomponents (my choice).
?? + Revit + Dynamo.

es, and these sum up to ~7100. I shall see if I can post a screenshot of everything.
I have no idea how to script that, sorry. But maybe could be a more optimized workflow - just feed one object B at a time, maybe that makes the math behind it more relaxed.
I should emphasize that it is not about 'fault' in the operation, and rather a very slow calculation - the difference does eventually get calculated with no errors whatsoever, the only problem is the unbelievably inefficient, or unproductive time it takes to do so. I think the problem could be the proportion of the objects, one very large, and one very small (28 / 6 / .1cm vs. .05cm), maybe that does something funky to the bounding box calls, I have no idea. And one other thing I suspect is the number of faces in the object, as I progress to let's say 700 cuts, I have then created 700*4 new faces in the object. I don't know if this is indeed something of concern. …

It is using up all or a lot of the cycles on the app UI thread. So there's no computing power left over to handle mouse events, keyboard events and paint events.
It is using up more memory than the computer physically has, so Windows starts paging (i.e. using the hard-disk as a memory space). Since disc read/write access is orders of magnitude slower than RAM read/write speed, this will slow down everything.
Some other application is using a lot of computing power/memory and Windows deems that app more important than Rhino.
8GB might not be enough if Rhino needs more than 5GB or so to run. Windows will take up ~2, other apps will take up ~1 unless they are also doing heavy lifting, so you have about 5 left over for Rhino+Grasshopper+++. It is not difficult to make Grasshopper use lots of a memory, but its also not demanded. If you generate 5000 complicated Brep objects, they are going to have to be stored somewhere.
However I cannot comment from here about whether your problem is processor or memory related, or both.

eone would know how to group each data position from each branch ... meaning, for instance, that I have a list of data with 3 branches, each branch containing 28 data instances (see attached image). Now, how would I get the (0;0)+(1;0)+(2;0) to be grouped in a new branch, as well as (0;1)+(1;1)+(2;1) and so on?
Also, I need for the setup to able to take in variables, so that the 3 branches might change to 6, and the 28 data instances might to change to anything between 10 and 100.
Thanks in advance,
/Claus
