Circular Array
By Eric Marin
This node creates circular arrays by duplicating and rotating objects around a specified center point. Simply input your source object (handle or name), set the number of copies, define the angle between duplicates (in degrees), and specify the center point of rotation. The node outputs a list of all arrayed objects for further processing. Perfect for creating radial patterns, architectural elements like columns around courtyards, or any design requiring objects arranged in a circular formation.
Created by Elias Marin Lara with AI assistance. Compatible with Vectorworks 2026.

Marionette Dynamic Popup Control
I wanted to share something I landed on today while working on friendlier usability for Marionette nodes.
This node takes an input list and dynamically populates the OIP popup control.
How to use it:
• Run the network.
• Deselect and reselect the popup node (if it’s already selected).
• Choose from the updated options in the popup.
• If you change the inputs, the node will try to remember your previous selection when you run the network again.
Some helpful details:
• It can differentiate between variable types, so if you feed it a 1 and a "1", it knows which one you picked.
• If duplicate values are present, it selects the first matching item in the input list.
• There are checkboxes to remove duplicates and sort the list alphabetically. Even if you use those options, the node still returns the index based on the original list.
Limitations:
• You’ll need to deselect and reselect the node any time you update the list. There’s currently no way to dynamically refresh the OIP while the node is selected.
This is a bit of a hacky solution, so I can’t speak to its long-term reliability yet, but so far it’s been working well.
I have other nodes in progress that build on this, but I wanted to share the base version in case anyone has suggestions or sees anything I’ve overlooked.
Let me know what you think.

RGB 8 bits StringTo RGB 16 bits tuple
By Nico_be
Node that converts an 8-bit rgb value (255,105,180) into a 16-bit value (65535, 26985, 46260) expected by other marionette nodes.
Useful for defining object colors according to table cells, for example.
Thanks Grok!

Planar boolean menu commands
By Letti R
Adds, subtracts or intersects all surfaces of a list. This node is equivalent to the menu commands "Add Surface", "Subtract Surface" and "Intersect Surface".
The order of the objects in the input list acts like the stacking order of objects when using the menu commands.

Marionette Compose v2 Node
I'm working on developing a version of the Compose node that won't rely on the Vectorworks Menu Command since that ends up not always behaving as expected in all cases.
I figured I'd share my progress with it. It's not done, I haven't explored all edge cases, and it's possible that it's still buggy enough that you could end up in an infinite loop in some cases.
With this in mind, I highly recommend saving your work before testing this node. I'd appreciate any feedback on where it's failing or where you would expect a different behavior so I can add error handling/improvements.
The attached file is in 2025 version. I think it would be safe to export back a few versions, so if you're on an earlier version of Vectorworks but would like access to test, let me know and I can upload a copy for that version as well.

Import Symbol/Resource to Folder
By Mirko Guhr
This node imports a resource based on the type into the active document and returns this object.
With the input FolderName a folder can be defined where the resource will be placed.
If this input is left empty, the resource will be placed at the top level of the resource manager.
General:
If the resource to be imported is already present in the document but modified, the usual dialog with change/overwrite, etc., will appear.
It is not necessary to have the reference as a favorite or anything like that. The absolute path is specified.
It is not possible to work with %userprofile% or %AppData%.
Here is the documentation for the resource typs:
LINK
some of the common resource type numbers:
Symbol: 16
Worksheet: 18
Record Format: 47
Hatch: 68
Line Type: 93
Texture: 97
ATTENTION!!!
As is usual in Vectorworks, there must be no duplicate names.
The node does not provide feedback if the folder name already exists. The folder will simply not be created if the name already exists.
This does not have to be another folder. If there is a class/symbol or something similar with the same name, the folder will not be created.

Make Planar Nodes
By DomC
Often what is missing to make usable Elements of this geometry is the fact, that
faces need to be planar to make buildable elements. Also it need to be planar to make
extrudes and other solids out of it.
The Two nodes "get Planes" and "ProjectPoints" are a step in this direction.
This example do nearly the same the existing Surface Array already can do. Except it directly
gets geometry from a subdivision object.
Anyway this has to be seen as a first step trying to model hulls with planar AND closed shapes. Which looks like a very hard task.

Worksheet based Popup, push Button
By DomC
Generally:
Popups significantly raises usability of Marionette Scripts. Also for advanced marionette scripters often it is hard to search and enter the values.
Situation Now:
1. The Popup values has to be written in an input node or the params class of the node, which do just execute if node is edited.
2. Popups are not dynamically unless the values are calculated by the script and then the Popup will popup every time the script is running.
What does that Node improve:
1. The popup values can be directly pulled from a worksheet.
2. The provided node filters one popup with another popup, which is very efficient for fast filtering and combine choices

Record Popups
By DomC
Generally:
In everyday life job is very often reading and writing record fields of user record formats
and PlugIn objects.
Situation Now:
1. Marionette users have to know the record name and need a lot of knowledge to get the universal name of PIOs
2. Marionette users needs to manually find and transfer the field names into string nodes and also have to know a
workflow to find the universal field names of PlugIns.
3. copy/paste of the names or writing the values is stressful and often results in type errors.
What does this Nodes improve:
1. Quick access to record formats, PIO records and field names
2. See the localized and universal names (if exists) of the fields, returns universal names to the script automatically
3. Can also be used in combination with "print debug" to show names for editing existing networks without using directly

Name Popup
By DomC
About This File
This Node is similar like the Name-Node. Instead of writing the Name in the Node Infos, you can select the Name from a Popup, wich maybe is a little bit more comfortable. Using the Name input is often used by myself for quick testing, debugging or Stand-alone Scripts. This node helps eliminating errors like writing the name on the wrong field or copy/paste the name on wrong place etc.
A new innovation implemented, is a visual feedback of the node, which zooms the named object while choosing it in the popup. Which is a very interesting advance to improve user friendliness of Marionette nodes.
Ideas for further improvements:
1. Checkbox if zoom or not (not sure, because to many checkboxes decreases usability)
2. A Pick option to pick an object and auto-naming and inputting with this picked object (Not implemented, because I have not got it to work, that a pick callback runs inside of a Marionette script)

Extrude Y.vwx
By SimA
I was looking for a way to extrude 2D surfaces from the front view.
Now I've changed the "Extrude" node so that it now extrudes in the Y direction instead of the Z direction.
I am a carpenter, so use at your own discretion.
Ich habe nach einer Möglichkeit gesucht 2D Flächen aus der Frontansicht zu extrudieren.
Nun habe ich den Knoten "Extrude" so verändert, dass dieser nun in der Y-Richtung anstelle der Z-Richtung extrudiert.
Ich bin Schreiner, daher benutzen nach eigenem Ermessen.

Import pillow 2022
By DomC
Unsure on which different OS and how long this will work. I just need it for myself and wanted to share, because I know some of you are waiting for external-library-fix with OSX. For my usecase the issue at the Moment seems to be fixed. Not tested with Windows or other OSX Versions. Runs on my Machine intel Mac Book with Big Sur and Vectorworks 2022 SP1.
Do not run on Windows yet.
Feedback what it does on your machines is very welcome.

Set Class Extended
Just like "Set Class" "Set Class Extended" assigns a class to the referenced object. Furthermore you can also recursively include all sub objects (meaning all objects within groups and symbols). It also allows to set all attributes by class. These options are available as checkboxes in the OIP.
Set Class Extended was created by ComputerWorks GmbH.
Compatibility: Vectorworks 2021

Curve Map Wrapper
This is a wrapper that serves a similar function to Grasshopper's Graph Mapper component. To use the wrapper, connect it to a network, give it a minimum and maximum value for its domain range, the number of values you want in your list, and use a Name node to connect a drawn NURBS curve to the hCurve input. When you reshape the curve and run the network, the output list of values will change. You can use these values to shape, scale, array, or anything else in your network. Within the Curve Map Wrapper file is an example of a railing Marionette object and in the second file there is a vase Marionette object. Both use the Curve Map wrapper. This wrapper can be used in Marionette objects or regular Marionette networks.

Solid Boolean V3
By Gregi
It got struggled by using one "tool" to subtract from more than one Objects. This Node is fixing it.
You can use Solid Boolean V3 in situations, where you want to use the same hObj2 ("tool") for more than just one boolean. It creates a copy of the Object and deletes it at the end of network ("vs.Marionette_DisposeObj()")

Quick Common Math
By AlHanson
Very simple math nodes that cover frequently used math in networks. Mostly just to keep things cleaner with fewer nodes. Think Add 1 and Sub 1.
Half - Divides by 2
Double - Multiplies by 2
Squared - Value to the power of 2
Cubed - Value to the power of 3
