Get Symbol from Folder
This node returns the name of a symbol chosen via selection dialog with previews of the symbols in the current document. If a folder name is given, only its content is shown.
When dealing with a big number of different symbols with long and possibly names difficult to remember, just click the "Select Symbol ..." (OIP) and visually select the symbol within the dialog window.

Print Node
This Node makes debugging more comfortable especially inside wrappers.
You can select weather if the incoming values will be printed into a text object right under the node or into the python console.
Time of the execution and type of the items can be printed optionally. I integradet the object type list from the appendix site to translate the type id into a string ( 5 = Polygon... )
You can also define filter conditions as Python statement in the oip of the node. Variable X is replaced by the values. Check out the example in the VWX.

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

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 Also some nodes may be outdated, obsolet or buggy.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 :-)

Story Replicator / Geschosskopierer
The Story Replicator is a single Marionette Node that allows you to easily store the story structure of one document and replicate it in another - as simple as copy/paste. It does so while preserving all the interconnected information.
This way you can create new documents and add Story structures already used in other documents without going through the hassle of making a copy of the original file and removing all unwanted content.
Der Geschosskopierer besteht aus einer einzigen Marionette Node und erlaubt Ihnen, Geschossstrukturen von einem Dokument auf ein anderes zu übertragen - so einfach wie copy/paste. Dabei werden alle miteinander verknüpften Informationen beibehalten.
Auf diese Weise können Sie neue Dokumente erstellen und in diesen Geschossstrukturen nutzen, die Sie bereits in anderen Dokumenten im Einsatz haben, ohne hierfür die Originaldatei kopieren und diese von allen nicht benötigten Inhalten befreien zu müssen.
Created by / erstellt von ComputerWorks GmbH.
Compatibility / Kompatibilität: Vectorworks 2020 +
Keep in mind:
Due to the way stories are structured and interconnected the tool may not be able to replicate every last detail for every situation.
Currently there is a known limitation: The tool was not tested with or designed to handle overly many design layers. Therefore depending on different factors the maximum possible number of design layers the tool can still handle correctly is about 60 +-5. If there are too many design layers when re-creating the document story structure, the tool will basically just stop and do nothing.
Achtung:
Durch die Art und Weise wie Geschosse strukturiert und miteinander verknüpft sind, kann das Werkzeug möglicherweise nicht alle Details in allen Situation richtig abbilden.
Zur Zeit ist eine Einschränkung bekannt: das Werkzeug wurde nicht getestet oder ausgelegt, um mit sehr vielen Konstruktionsebenen zu arbeiten. Deshalb liegt die maximale Anzahl an Konstruktionsebenen, mit denen das Werkzeug zu Recht kommt, - abhängig von verschiedenen Faktoren - bei etwa 60 +-5. Bei der Wiederherstellung der Geschossstrukturen im Dokument wird das Werkzeug bei zu vielen Konstruktionsebenen einfach aufhören und nichts machen.
PS:
Even though the downloads contain only v2020 files, they can be opened in Vectorworks 2021 and will work there as well.
Obgleich in den Downloads nur v2020 Dateien enthalten sind, eignen sich diese genauso gut für die Nutzung in Vectorworks 2021.

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.

Popup enhanced
By MRoth
This node makes it easier to create a custom popup. In addition to the index, it also returns the string of the selection.
I think I have seen a similar node from Marissa before. But I could not find it anymore.

Filter Type

This node filters all objects of a certain type from a list.
This function could also be achieved with standard nodes, but is easier to do it in a separate node.

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.

Line Plane Intersection Node
By Niels Timmer
Description
This node calculates where a line (not a line segment!) and a plane intersect.
Input / output
The plane is defined by its normal vector and a point on the plane. The line is defined by two points. The output point is where the line and plane intersect.
Example Usage
The example in the file combines the node with the Get Distance node to check if a three dimensional line intersects with a NURBS surface. This network can be used to create several simulations that can answer questions like: Do sunrays reach a balcony? Is the church tower visible from a window? Etc.
Script is based on: https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Find_the_intersection_of_a_line_with_a_plane#Python
The node uses numpy. Thanks to DomC for creating a numpy importer node.
