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.

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 🙂

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

Polygon Survey
By DomC
A Node which creates Measure Lines in Polygons (Line from every vetex point to every other vertex point).
1. p2p Lines:
2. Perpentidular Lines (Perpentidular Line from every poly vertex on every poly edge):
To sort out needless lines, there are several filters integrated:
1. Double Lines automatically filtered with an epsilon (p2p is not the same as perpenticular if you look all 15 digits)
2. Measure Lines, which are identical with poly edges
3. Measure Lines, which are outside of the polygon
4. Overlapping lines. If two lines are parallel and both points of the smaller lines are on the bigger line, the bigger line is filtered
5. Filter Lines over and lower than min max values
6. An Option, to return a number of length (Return first x values). As example if there are measure lines with the length (1.2, 1.2, 1.25, 1.5,) and the value is 1, two lines with 1.2 will be returned. This value is holding on perpendicular and p2p lines.
Summary:
Turn off Debug options like "Show Edge", "show Outside Poly", Filter small length (niches) and set "Return first x values" on 1 or 2 to get optimal results. So a normal result will look like this:
Attached there are three examples. An Example with spaces, An examples just with polys and an example as PlugIn. PlugIn is good for playing with the options to see changes prompt.

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

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.

Space to Poly
This node returns the floor surface geometry of spaces as polylines and various space parameters.
Whenever you need to extract the floor surface or certain properties (without destroying the space object) to use it in a network or before using a tool like Tiles or Area Verification, this node will come in handy.

Filter Type
By MRoth
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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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)

String2Name
Converts a string to a "name" (object handle).
I found myself using concatenated strings to name objects (e.g. a series of squares named: sq1, sq2, sq3) after which a manual operation was performed and then another marionette network was run to pull new information from individual adjusted objects. I wanted the wrap the network and set it receive input via the string dialogue node (i.e. you click and type the name of the object you want to modify) but I needed a node to turn the strings into an "object name" and use that to get the object handle.
This node is pretty simple, but I think it's pretty useful if you are creating a two-step system with human modification in the middle and want to regain control of a bunch of objects named by concatenation.

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.
