DomC Nodes
By DomC
Attached a vwx with nodes. Some of them already shared as separate files. Also the list is not complete, not perfect and has no warranty of being up to date. Also some nodes may be outdated, obsolet or buggy.
Take note:
1. I tried to track the nodes with an addition record format
2. Marionette Nodes are linked to a record format, this record format contains descreption and Other infos from to the node.
3. Also this Record contains a rating of the node (internal rating for me) like is this node hard to make, will it be useful for many users or just for one special case etc.
4. The Record can be linked manually to a node and then the node's Data can be written by a script. Ration Infos logically has to be attached manually
5. On the document is a worksheet with all nodes listed
The Info below is originally from the nodes (included original misspelling etc :-)

Automated Layout
By DomC
Hi
This Examples shows, how to automatically create sheet layers and viewports from objects of the design layers. In this example, a sheet layer will be created for every exhibition place available on the design layer. It creates a 1:20 close-up from the specific exhibitor's place and an overview plan with a marker of the exhibitors place.
This Network-Template could be used whenever you want to create automatically documentations out of your drawing. As Example:
- Put a Viewport of every Space Object in your drawing on SheetLayers
- Put Viewports from Building Elements close-ups (Windows, Doors etc.) on sheet layers
Also this Network contains some very powerful custom nodes:
1. Enhances BBox, Enhanced Rectangle, PutByRefPoint those are just to save time for calculating width, length and ref point of objects
2. Function Two (like standard function node with two inputs), SetParent
(1. and 2. Already available on this forum)
3. CreateLayer
4. CreateViewport
5. VP Layer Visibility
6. Add VP Ann (Annotations in Viewport)
7. Nodes for getting Marionette OIP Data which is not possible with "Get Record Field"

Rectangle Line Pattern
By DomC
A Rectangle Line Pattern with a random option.
Also the files show, hot how to project on a NURBS Surface. This 3D Projection contains two additional custom nodes.
1. GetZatXY (Also used in many other examples on the community board)
2. GetZamong Pt. Not so easy to understand. This nodes calculates the z value of a 2D Point between two 3D Points without trigonometry (faster).

Point Rectangle
By DomC
This node creates optional a rectangle and returns the corner points of that rectangle.
Often there is a need of a rectangle and the corner points. If the rectangle is rotated, it can be a cramp to calculate the corner points. I hope this node can help to simplify marionette workflows.

Create Design or Sheet Layer
By DomC
This Node creates a new layer and keep the active layer the active one.
It has a popup witch allows to choose sheet or design layer. It returns a handle to the new layer or a handle to an existing layer with the same name.
Like ever .. with not warranty try first in an empty file and be careful creating thousands of layers or layers with the same name as other objects in the drawing.

Move Symbol in Folder or create Folder
By DomC
Insert Symbol in Folder Node:
1. Move the Symbol with the input name in the folder with the input folder name
2. If folder do not exists it will be created. If no symbol name is inputted, the folder created also
3. If the folder name is taken by another object, the folder will not be created

Enhanced Rectangle
By DomC
What is the distance of the middle top point to the insertion Point (left bottom), if your rectangle has 175.5° degrees? Not so easy calculate the move vector or the rotation for that. This node can help you to use your time for other challenges. You can place your rectangles with every standard reference Point in any angle in degrees.

Get and Set Marionette OIP Parameter
By DomC
With this two nodes, we are able to set or get the parameter of an Marionette PIO or wrapper.
Can be used to access the values in the OIP by script or another Marionette.
The Screenshot shows an example in which every of those pillar is an own marionette PIO (Script as symbol to instance the PIO).
Note:
It is not possible to write the parameters via Worksheet. Also it is not possible to read Marionette Object parameters directly into a worksheet. To read Marionette object parameters in a worksheet I recommend to write data into a record format and list those values in a worksheet.

Spaces with objects
By DomC
This node sorts out all spaces which have a collision with one of the input objects. Can be used to detect, if a space contains a specific object.
For collision points, the space polygon and the object's bounding box is used. There is a OIP dim parameter for tolerance value.
The vwx contains a quick and dirty test floor plan, nothing real 🙂

Create Symbol
By DomC
"Create Symbol" creates a new symbol definition on the active document. Refresh resource manager if you create a new symbol with this node by just switch to another document and back in the resource manager.
This node does not use "List absorb" so you can just insert one object into the symbol definition. Recommended to first create an empty symbol and then use "Set Parent" to attach several objects into the symbol.

Set Parent
By DomC
This Node puts objects in a parent Object (symbol, group, etc.)
Inputs:
1. Handle to Object which put into a container
2. Handle Input to Parent Object (use "get Object" node to use a named container here like a symbol definition)
3. Object Info Option "Reset". Reset Bounding Box and other attributes of the parent object

Concave Hull
By DomC
This node gets points clockwise with a given minimum distance.
The node has an additional option in the info-palette. Follow Deadlock means, that the hull can follow back the same points that already was used as a hull point. Deadlock off means, that a point can't be uses twice as a hull point.
The Algorithm behind the node:
1. Check, which points are in range of the point most left (bounding box for speed optimization)
2. Check, which points are exactly in range of the distance value
3. Check which angle in cw direction is the smallest and connect to this point
I think there would be a speed optimization possible with normalized vectors etc. So i would call this a beta version of the node.
Computing the angles of the vectors takes a while if there are many points. in combination with the cluster node it takes about 17 seconds for 4200 points. Seven Minutes for 8800 points. So check number of clusters and numbers of points.
The Idea was, to have a workflow for vectorize an image. This is a complexe project. Maybe it is worth to check other algorhitms with existing python external modules. But so far it works quite nice.

Basic Reshape SolidScale in x,y,z
By DomC
This Nodes breaks up and scale a 3D Solid Geometry and the result is similar like a 2D Geometry reshaped by the 2D Reshape Tool.
The Input Geometry (Geometries) have to be grouped. You can input it from symbol or control geometry.
The Node is designed with some love to detail and make the job in many situation just right. It follows some rules:
1. reference Point is left bottom back
2. Overlapping geometries over the zero point to left, back or bottom are handled symmetric. You can use locus points to direct the correct symmetry.
3. The nodes cut a geometry in 3 parts. the end parts are called "caps". The Node allows to scale the caps or the middle part (in most cases the right mode)
4. It is necessary the input geometry is a group.
5. Grouped Objects completely inside caps, will be moved as well
6. Objects between the caps, will be moved half value
This advantage of this node, is to allow an incredible fast production of a specific type of PlugIn Objects (Reshape in x, y, z direction Middle Part is scaled like Tables, Pillars, Handles etc.)

Reshape Node 2D
By DomC
https://youtu.be/vuCvK4OwN80 German Movie
https://youtu.be/Nm0te1zmpVY English Movie
Structure of the Input:
1. Group with Geometry group (send to back) and Reshape Zone definition (send to front). Best practice is to use a blue smbol without screen plane objects
2. Reshape Zone group has further groups. Every reshape zones (polygons) is grouped with a dimension object. The dimension is the link to the script. The parameter name is a prefix of the dimension text
3. Use one of the existing examples to understand the system
Limitations:
1. Supportes not 3D, Chain Dimension, path objects, rectangles. Container objects are not reshaped but moved (like the reshape tool)
2. user origin has to be set to vectorworks origin
3. not mix of screen-plane and layer plane. Use all layer-plane
