  1. Point Cluster.vwx

    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).

  2. Concave Hull

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. DomC - System Info and Action Nodes

    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

  11. Some Point Nodes

    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 :-)
