I am having some lag latency issues with the search feature in Dynamo when I am on my work network.
Any other networks seem to be fine…I am thinking that somewhere along the line I am pinging or communicating with a remote server as my company has a vast global network.
Network Information:
WAN Network…here in North America…That is also connected to a global network…
I kinda sorta found a work-around. But it does not work with A360 models and limits some of the functionality of dynamo.
WorkAround:
Open Revit along with any file.
Disconnect from network
Open Dynamo (while disconnected)
Reconnect to network
This works okay and definitely minimizes the lag… but not completely there is still a brief pause…
When working outside of office (on my personal laptop)… Dynamo & Dynamo Search function FLY! no lag at all. Which as you all know the flow of these inputs is vital to a fluid thought process and workflow.
Problems with this workflow…
After disconnecting (even briefly) I am not able to work on A360 cloud based projects…
it is annoying to have to remember to disconnect and reconnect the network everytime I open or close Dynamo
Does anybody know how to (maybe through the dynamo log files) be able to look at the directories that I am communicating with and possibly disable or block the ones that are causing my headaches…
Thanks in advance to any advice, input, and or possible solutions with this.
What version and point release of Revit and Dynamo are you working on. Digging into some of the crash reports, I see some weird stuff with some versions hitting Analytics errors, but not all
Dropbox trying to sync live vs not would explain the difference on the two systems. It tends to behave differently on various installs. I would be interested in seeing what packages are on that Dropbox location. Also can you confirm you don’t have the same package in both directories as I’ve seen that cause issues in the past (save version or not), which is another thing that can cause differing performance between the systems.
Looks like a different version of Revit (2017) than what I’m seeing associated with Analytics errors (r2016). Agree that Dropdox seems like a likely suspect. That being said, I’ve always pathed my packages to Dropbox folders, and also frequently have the same package in multiple locations and never seen a search slowdown. Doesn’t mean that isn’t the cause, just that there is some additional variable. @emmett.cruey what OS are you on? (My systems are Win 8, occasionally a Win 7). Also, worth checking antivirus and firewall settings.
Having the same problem with projects located on the server of my company. It doesnt apply if I save the projects on the local drive. The packages are installed on the drive.
The workaround proposed in OP (disconnect, start Dynamo, reconnect) works. It seems disconnecting once will work for several subsequent openings of Dynamo.
Revit 2018 and Dynamo 1.3, packages on default location (local C://).
Could you clarify what you mean by disconnecting? I am working on a remote server and don’t like the idea of removing the link to the central model because we have lots of people working on projects and I think it would lose it for good. Is there another alternative?
I didn’t like the idea of disconnecting so I have a detached central model on my desktop that I open to build the dynamo scripts in. When the script is complete I run it in the main model. It seems to run scripts ok just can’t build them.
