How to Control 9,298,091,736 Design Options

Has this ever happened to you?  You make a graph, save it to the web and look at it on Fractal, but generating options seems to never finish.  This could be because you’re trying to create 9,298,091,736 designs! We’ve now added some controls to help with this problem right in the Fractal interface. There is a new column of checkboxes and an input incrementer that you can use to control which inputs you want to vary and by how much.  The default setting is to vary each slider set to “Is Input” on save to web from Dynamo with 3 default variations and each boolean with 2. The algorithm creates the cross product of all of these inputs.  So if you have 19 sliders and 3 booleans like we have in this example that means 3^19* 2^3 = 9,298,091,736 designs!  We’ve also added a design calculator so that you don’t have to do this math and can see it up front before you hit Generate!  So to focus on the designs I think I want, I first need to think about the parameters I…
