For some reason, a script that runs very smoothly and quickly in dynamo runs painfully slow in dynamo player. Any ideas why this is? Thanks.

Check for element bindings as they are a common cause. Also, some custom nodes can take a bit to load up, and Dynamo player isn’t just running the graph, but opening it too. Check the run time after modifying inputs vs the runtime when you don’t.

Ok. Thanks for the replies. I’m not sure why though. There are no custom nodes. It’s the most basic graph possible: it takes a line, divides by a set number, and places family instances at each point. See attached graph. [Dynamo%20Plant%20Layout%20Capture]

Sounds like a bindings issue. Basically everything which is written into Revit is stored in the dyn so you can update them later. To do so they have to serialize information about the model and the elements into a format that fits inside the json/xml structure. When you run it again Dynamo has to de…

You can try using Dyno to run your graphs instead of Dynamo Player. I find that it runs them much faster. This is because Dyno loads all of the resources for Dynamo when you open the project rather than loading the resources each time you run a graph from the player. [image] Dyno – PRORU…

@jacob.small I appreciate the info. Here is a download of the dyn file: [image] Firefox Send Encrypt and send files with a link that automatically expires to ensure your important documents don’t stay online forever.

The link is already expired. Can you post something more permanent (direct to the forum works)?

@jacob.small the forum won’t let me upload files as a new user. I’ll try a Google Drive link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1nn_D5KtnmFVajKOnKUymNLSXglAZv0PT Thanks!

Are you running the scripts on a model hosted on the network. Testing a script on my local workstation and then deploying it the production model take different amounts of time in my experience. Probably twice as long or longer.
