Last updated 26 days ago

This article is not completed yet. Now it only provides basic information.

For Grasshopper script designers, it is important to know what components take longer time and where is the bottleneck. Pancake provides a tool of profiling a part of your script with higher accuracy and error control.

How to use this feature?

  • Select one or more components,

  • Left-click an empty place on the canvas while holding Ctrl and Shift

  • Click Profile selected components (new run)

  • Wait for a while. The process can take at least 5 seconds and up to 10 times the duration of a single run.

How to interpret the report?

A typical report reads like (some lines are omitted):

Performance report of 124 object(s):
