Creating nice color schemes
By DomC
This Marionette uses a Web-Dialog to create color schemes. The created colors can be imported as colors and textures directly in Vectorworks.
Instruction:
1. Run the Network
2. configure colors
3. Don't forget to click "save"
4. close Web Dialog, the Vectorworks fetches the created colors and creates a preview with rectangles.
Hint:
right click > Wrap Marionette Network > right click > convert to menu command

Export SheetLayers as txt (Text-Tab)
By DomC
This Scripts help you exporting your layout structure to get an external list of your drawings if needed.
Exports Sheet Name, Title, Page Size and Page Numbers. Export Folder can be selected. FileName.txt can be set in ObjectInfo of wrapper. Grey and orange nodes (Screenshot) are custom nodes. "Manipulate File" is edited (codex utf_8) to support special characters like äöüé etc.
Note: I think Excel on Mac has issues handle the exported file's special characters (utf_8 encoding), not my fault I guess. The codex can be changed inside "Manipulate File" Node if you are not happy with the exported text encoding or find/replace on the other Software.

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.

Intelligente Bühnenwände
By nkanski
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.

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.

Create Record from external File
By DomC
This example shows, how to create a record format with fields from an external csv or text-tab file with marionette.
This example maybe needs the following know how which is not automatically is handled by the script:
1. Save Text with excel, open office or any other application as separated text file or tab separated text file.
2. Setup the "import txt" node-popup with the needed text encoding. Try utf-8, Latin1, macLatin_2 or other encoding to handle umlauts or special character issues.
3. The Exmaple just checks the first line of the text-file and creates record fields from them
4. The path to the text-input in the attached example is related to the document path. Save first your Vectorworks document. Or use an absolute path input.
5. No warranty or charge for this script, play first on a new file or on the attached file.
I whish you success with it

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.

Extrude along Path with Ref point
By DomC
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

Wall Component Volumes for Custom pSet
By DomC
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)

Colorize Subtext within a Text Object
By DomC
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.

Journey Through Marionette - Part 1
By Luis M Ruiz
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.

MT-02-How to make a circle.vwx
MT-03-How to rotate a rectangle.vwx
MT-04-How to duplicate a line.vwx

Introduction to Marionette - Part 1- Nodes and Connections
By PVA - Admin
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.
