Question

How can I clear previously stored values in Grasshopper when working with MIDAS components?

Answer

To remove old or residual data from components in Grasshopper, you can use the “Clean and Recalculate” option. This feature clears temporary data and forces a fresh calculation.

For version 2.0.7:
Simply right-click on any component and select “Clean and Recalculate.”

This helps ensure that previous values don't interfere with new inputs or geometry.

For versions prior to 2.0.7, follow these manual steps:
1. Right-click on the component (e.g., "Plate").
2. Click on “Clear Temp DB.”
3. Click on “Delete from Midas Civil NX.”
4. Click “Enabled” to disable the component.
5. Click “Enabled” again to re-enable it.

These steps ensure that the component resets completely, removing old data and preventing errors during re-execution.
