Because moving a node triggers an update of all associated and dependent geometry downstream, the update cycle can be very time intensive. In some cases interactive changes may be impossible. You can use ( Deferred Dynamics) or right-click > Deferred Dynamics to temporarily delay an update cycle. If a node is deferred or switched to non-dynamic, all downstream dependent nodes are deferred or non-dynamic as well.

Toggling the dynamics of a surface defined by points freezes the surface and all dependent geometry while moving a corner point. Once the move is complete, only then will the dependent geometry update to the new configuration.

To temporarily delay an update cycle for a node, click ( Deferred Dynamics and select a node. The selected node's icon on the node changes to represent the new model state, as well as all dependent geometry downstream.

Only the surface dynamics have been deferred and all dependent geometry automatically is deferred as well.
