  1. Xmas-tree top generator

    Hi,
    If you're still looking for Chrismas decorations, why not create them by yourself. This network creates Christmas tree top based on any profile. User can specify number of extrusions and how much they should be twisted around along the base shape. It can also be used for generating baubles with some small changes.
     
    For 3D prints it is better to add solids after running the network, so the network creates separates objects.

  2. Intelligente Bühnenwände

    Mit diesen Dateien kann man recht schnell eine Wandabwicklung aus dem Bühnenbaubereich zeichnen.
    Intelligente Verstellmöglichkeiten bieten eine Vielzahl an Möglichkeiten die Wände zu nutzen.
     
    In einer zweiten Konstruktionsebene befindet sich eine "runde" Wand, die beim Wrappen in ein Object Node leider einen Fehler produziert.
    Da ich den Fehler leider nicht behoben bekommen, können gerne Verbesserungsvorschläge gemacht werden.

  4. Infographics

    This is an old file that I have recently resurrected. It is one of the first files I ever created and represents my favorite way to use Marionette: infographics. I thought I had posted it here, but I can't find it, so I figured I would post it again. This file contains some custom infographics that I created based off of the polys in this file that have records attached. I have included a second layer that has some chart nodes from the default library.

  5. Marionette 101 Training Files

    Here are files that I use to do Marionette training. I thought that it would make sense to add them to the forum because they are useful in their own right, even without me talking through them. The Marionette 101 and 102 files go step by step through building Marionette networks. In both files, you can cycle through the Saved Views to see each iteration of the network and what geometry it produces. When you create a Marionette network you don't necessarily place all the nodes linearly from left to right, you build it in chunks of functionality, and the nodes that make up those chunks don't always follow from left to right like words on a page. Everybody might build their networks a little differently, but in these two networks, I show how I would solve these particular problems. The first network is a series of cubes that grow in size and that series can grow and rotate. This network has also been converted to a Marionette object and contains sliders in the final version. The second network is a series of squares that have a spectrum of colors applied to them. Because several steps of this network do not generate geometry, Saved Views have been added showing Print Debug nodes that display the values of the network.

  6. Wall Component Volumes for Custom pSet

    If NetVolume of Wall components has to be written in a custom pSet (if this is a special requirement), this Network maybe provide a solution.

    Note:
    If you export Base Quantities, you get component volumes exported. Which is the normal-case to export the component quantities.

    What does the Script(s) do:
    1. The first Script creates record fields for every component Name exists in the Document (Walls have to be in the drawing, not just as a style).
    2. The Second Script gets Wall component NetVolumes and writes it in the Record attached to the Wall for every component Name.
    3. So you are able to use the Data-Manager to attach this component informations  to the Wall Body and be able to export is as a Custom pSet to ifc (if this is a requirement in a specific project)

  8. Extrude along Path with Ref point

    The standard behaviour of the extrude along path tool is to center the profile on the path and after creation we are able move it. This works pretty good. If we use the extrude along path node, is is not so easy to move the profile group after creation. This example shows how to do.
    1. Put a 2D locus point in your (blue) symbol as a reference point and put it in the background (cmd/ctrl + B)
    2. the script will measure this point and after creation of the extrude along path it will move the profile group
     
    Specials:
    - A custom node to get the profile group of the path
    - A custom node to reset the extrude along path object after moving profile group

  10. Sightlines Simulation Using Shadow Projection

    This is a scenic design tool I created for set designers to help simulate sightlines quickly for those situations where scenery is moving around a lot during a show and you're trying to check for blind spots in arrangements, communicate with the director, or are designing something complicated in the round. While this program requires a 3D model to work it will only give you a 2D groundplan simulation. Because I'm modeling the blind spots using a lighting device to create the shadow projection there will be some slight error and the tool will be less effective on a multi-level set or significantly raked stage.
     
    Directions for use are given in the file along with a series of buttons to run the program. In essence, you run a network to generate a sight line object and name it (e.g. House Right Seat), move the object to the location and adjust the sight line bounds, and then run another network to create a shadow projection simulation of what a person can see from that seat. Finally, you switch to fast renderworks to see the shadows and, if necessary, adjust the Bot-Z depending on where the z=0 point is in relation to the playing space.
     
    I'm using a object naming system that takes user input and names objects with concatenation as they're are created, releases them to the user for manual modification, and then regains control in a separate network. This is still a little buggy and sometimes leads to VWX crashing (particularly the user clicks "cancel" after prompted to input a name), so save your file before running any of the networks here.
     
    I'm still new to marionette so I appreciate any feedback.

  12. 2D to Massing Model

    This file contains a Marionette network that converts 2D polys into Massing Models. It reads the Record Format info attached to the poly and uses that information to create the Massing Model. It also transfers all attached Records to the Massing Model. This network is useful for converting shapefile data into Massing Models. To use the network, select the wrapper and make sure that all the fields in the Object Info palette correspond correctly to the objects that you want to convert. All of the info that you want to use to create the Massing Model must be in a single record, but all attached records will be transferred over by the script.
     
    Also included in the file is a worksheet that allows you to calculate Floor Usage Data for each floor of a multistory building. If you have one type of usage on the first floor, and a different type of usage on the upper floors, you can calculate that in the worksheet. (If you have more than two types of usage, it can only calculate the first two types.) To change the usage type in the worksheet, just type the name of the usage type, like "Retail" or "Residential" into the top row of one of the Area by Usage Type Columns. The lower rows will adjust appropriately.

  13. Convert text to 3D Locus

    In French :
    Parfois un plan de mesurage ne contient que les textes des niveaux sans aucun symbole ou point 3D.  Il n'est donc pas possible de créer un terrain 3D.
    Ce script permet de créer pour l'ensemble des points des points 3D ayant pour valeur Z le texte lui même, sur une autre couche .
     
    In English :
    Sometimes a measurement plan contains only the texts of the levels without any symbol or 3D point. It is therefore not possible to create a 3D terrain.
    This script makes it possible to create 3D points for the set of points having the value Z the text itself, on another layer.

  17. Colorize Subtext within a Text Object

    In this Example there are used some custom Nodes:
     
    1. "GetSubstring" --> Search for a string inside another string and returns Position and count. This will be necessary to set them to a Text Style Resource.
    2. "GetInsideChar" --> Returns strings which are inside specified characters (normally quote or double quote)
    3. "GetSubstringExcludeQuote" --> Same as the first one, but it to not return text inside quotes
    4. "GetNumberFromString" --> Search for Numbers inside a String.
    5. "GetNextObj" --> Put This in a Wrapper and it will return the next object after this node. This is a great one!! Can be used also for input geometry inside a script network. Without naming or other smut.
     
    This could be improved by further code (find standalone or text in word, find integer, find float, etc.) But It works for most cases perfectly.

  19. Journey Through Marionette - Part 1

    Now that graphical scripting is a reality in Vectorworks software, my designing spirit has been fantasizing about many forms and shapes. I’ve been clicking the mouse for over 20 years and feel like our software is like an extension of my drafting board, but I recently learned that Marionette requires a different but exciting approach. Graphical scripting to me is a form of exploration in a foreign language, it satisfies my curiosity and offers instantaneous alternatives.
     
    I’d like to share my experience and discoveries with Marionette and I continue to explore, and hopefully inspire you to give it a try and ultimately share the knowledge with our community.  My first attempts were all 2d based, nothing great, just crawling before walking. Here is a list of files.

  23. Introduction to Marionette - Part 1- Nodes and Connections

    Marionette is a brand new design workflow tool for Vectorworks. It is the first and only cross-platform graphical scripting (or “visual programming”) environment available in a BIM authoring software for the AEC, Entertainment and Landscape industries. It enables a user with few or no programming knowledge and skills to create custom application algorithms to explore designs, build interactive objects and streamline complex workflows that may also include functions of the operating system and internet. 

    Graphical scripting will play a significant role in the workflows of the future. These tools, when built into an intelligent information modeling application such as Vectorworks software, present designers with unlimited opportunities to generate, define, build, and explore form and function throughout the design process.

    This series of video tutorials will introduce you to the basics of working with Marionette and walk you through the basics.
