  1. Introduction to Marionette - Part 5 - Manipulating Geometry

    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.

  3. Symbols in Rows

    Places a Marionette object, which contains symbols from a specific symbol folder. Offset and rows, can be defined. Handy for a quick and printable preview of symbols in a specific folder.

  5. Growing Lines

    This example is based on a custom node. which returns a line pattern. This pattern is based on several while and random loops. I have not found a proper way to run a while loop over a marionette network so this is better to create in a custom node.
     
    It is easier to play with the example, than explaining exactly how it works. 
     
    Have fun with it. This is my base study to find a workflow to project any pattern on a NURBS Surface which would be a real scope of usage.

  7. Architectural Arches

    I would like to contribute for free 12 marionette networks.

    They comprise of 12 architectural arches; Semi-Circle, Segmental, Equilateral, Lancet, Drop, Tudor, Turkish, Rampant, Parabolic, Involuted, Arabic and Ogee Arches.

    All the networks are parametric, customizable and can be freely modified.

    Would appreciate your comments.

  9. Offset and Scale

    This allows you to offset and scale an object.
    With a bit of an explanation that I hope is right. (Well its my understanding to date)

    Thanks to @Luis M Ruiz Example WT-31-How_to_sequence_volumes.

  11. Fill Spaces With Symbols

    Imagine you have client, which delivers you a room list. And a list, which objects have to be in this rooms. You can consider this lists with hundreds of rooms on your left screen and click them one by one in your rooms. You will make errors and your eyes will get squared.
    Another real interesting example how you could accelerate a routine job with a marionette script.

  12. Create Site Model from Mesh

    This is a Marionette network that converts a mesh to 3D locus points. This is very useful for converting meshes of terrains imported into SketchUp from Google Earth into Vectorworks Site Models. Once you have a SketchUp mesh, import it into Vectorworks and give the mesh a name. Take the wrapper in this file and place it in the same drawing. Change the name of the mesh in the OIP of the wrapper to the name you gave the SketchUp mesh. Raising the number of the grid density will make your site model more accurate, but it might take the wrapper up to a minute or two run. When you run the script, you will get a group of 3D loci. Ungroup the loci, and keeping them selected, go to AEC -> Terrain -> Create Site Model... (in the Architect Workspace). Choose your settings and click ok

  15. Panelization

    This file was created by Proving Ground to analyze the panelization of NURBS surfaces. Based on 3 NURBS curves, it creates a lofted surface, then converts it to a series of 3D polys. It then compares the 3D polys to the curvature of the surface at that point and states how out of plane each panel is. It also uses a color gradient to indicate where it is out of plane. It then makes a copy of the panels and lays them flat in a grid.

  16. Shuffle Numbers Example

    An Input of 4 different numbers. Out of that 4 values there are 40 shuffled numbers of the same values. Next value never is the same like preview value.
    This Example uses a custom "shuffle-node" (randomize input list with the option, no next value must be the same like preview value) and the "saldo-node" (returns a sum after every new value).

  18. Create Record from external File

    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

  19. Bar Diagram

    A nice, small Marionette for creating bar diagrams. This is much more simpler and more flexible than a spread sheet bar diagram.
     
     
    Options:
    1. ColNames
    2. Col Values -> mandatory
    3. RefValue -> A bar with this value, has the height of the BArHeigtRefValue field
    4. BarWidth
    5. BarHeigtRefValue
    6. Invert -> A bigvalues results in small bar
     
    There is a 2 minute movie (without audio)
