How to re-cache strokes when using guidegroom? Aug. 24, 2022, 11:41 p.m.

In my opinion the recache strokes feature in the original guide groom rarely if ever worked in production.

I stress tested it a lot. In my initial tests I would give it the worst case scenario and with each cycle I would go for easier and easier situations for it to solve and even then it wouldn't parse the results that was useable.

If im honest it's a feature i do not miss.

But you are freely able to switch back to the guideGroom 1.0 in H19.5 with the Asset Manager. But i will take the optimized guideGroom 2.0 over it no question.
