Align Objects
This node will take an anchor object and a list of other objects to align.
The OIP has X and Y position options on how the objects should be aligned.
This node will only align objects in 2D.

And List
By MRoth
This node returns TRUE if all inputs are TRUE. In some cases where you have many booleans, it is easier to use this node instead of the default and-node.

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"

Backward
By MRoth
This Node sends an object to the back of the stacking order.
If several items are moved backwards, the first item in the list will appear at the top, cause the subsequent items are placed behind the first item.

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.)

Cabinet in one node incl. Ardis Export
This node is programmed in Dutch.
The node is made to convert to a plug-in.
Not converted, a Top-plan geometry will be visible. If you install the plug-in, the geometry will work as it should.
Attached an English plug-in. ("AR_Cabinet2019 EN") For the non Dutch 🙂
See screen shots to understand "Front distribution", "cutout in sides", "shelves distribution"
Enjoy.

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.

Control Geometry enhanced
By MRoth
This node simplifies the creation and the debugging of marionette objects (MO).
Outside a MO it returns the geometry from a blue symbol. No contents node are necessary.
Within a MO it returns all objects of the control geoemtry. Groups in the control geometry are no longer necessary.
If there is no control geometry, the node behaves like outside of a MO and returns the contents of the symbol.

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.

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.

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.

Delaunay Triangulation
This node returns sets of points forming triangles from a list of vertices for any given 2D polygon.
When running for the first time, the node will ask to install the SciPy library, which is required to use Delaunay triangulation.
To learn more about Delaunay triangulation, have a look at the Wikipedia article.
Created by ComputerWorks GmbH.
Compatibility: Vectorworks 2019 and higher; Python 3.5.0 or higher.
Requirements: SciPy (python library)
Limitations: Holes in polys are ignored. One way to overcome this limitation is to use Get Holes in Poly.

DomC - System Info and Action Nodes
By DomC
A collection of some custom nodes for file and system actions.
1. "OpenDocFolder" --> Open a finder or explorer window. As example the folder of the open document.
2. "ListDir" --> Lists Files and Folders of a specific path.
3. "FileInfo" --> A detailed list with file infos like file size, path, permission, last edit etc.
4. "DateTime" --> Returns the actual date and time.
5. "PlayMP3" --> I nice one, which presents the potential by controlling external apps like an mp3 player etc.

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 :-)
