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.

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.

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 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
Set Parent.vwx

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.

Point Cluster.vwx
By DomC
The "Point Cluster"- node detects points, which are within a given distance from other points in the same scope with an own algorithm (not python 3rd party module needed).

Some Point Nodes
By DomC
Hello
I putted some of my geometry-math-point nodes (resource-browser-ready) together on a single file. I started to clean up all my marionette stuff, so I think here is a more secure place to store, as on my desktop :-)

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.

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.
6. "FetFilesInFolder" --> Returns files of a specific type (by suffix) from a specific folder
7. "DialogFolder" --> A dialow window to choose a folder

Various old nodes
By AlanW
Hi, These are all the nodes i collected or made myself. HTH
They are listed under the users i collected them from.
If tiy put these in your workgroup folder in a folder called Marionette and restart VW and update library they will be available in the dropdown menu.
Vwctorworks/(your workgroup folder)/Libraries/Defaults. if these folders fon't exist jut create empty folders so vw can follow to the files.
Some will be out of date so see how they go.

Is On Poly Edge
This node returns True if the specified point lies on the edge of the referenced polygon or polyline object and also returns the point.
(Checks if point is on the line between two given vertices with a precision threshold in the OIP.)

Open Database Connection (ODBC)
ODBC connection is useful for those that have an external database and want to use values from it within Vectorworks. It is also helpful going the other way, allowing users to edit their external database from within Vectorworks.
These are more advanced nodes that will require an understanding of setting up and working with external databases.

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.
