Wonderful Marionette Door
By DomC
More and more projects with a high level of individual control or a high level of geometry detail were created in 3D. The leading modelling and scripting capabilities keeps Vectorworks the best choice for BIM models. We have the best tool to make more than just the standard.
This Example shows how to parameterize a "hand design" Geometry of a beautiful Door.

Standard Rooms
By DomC
This Script it made for users which have an Vectorworks Architecture but have not the core business to draw walls, slabs and roofs to make a presentation ambient for their designs. It helps to create room situations very fast and especially very easy.
1. Concept
It pulls Symbols out of a Symbol folder which are Room-Presets. As Presets Rooms can exist, that have a rectangular shape and inner dimension of exact 2 meters. Slabs are supported also (No extrudes etc.) and roofs. Best Practice maybe is to keep existing presets and just change classes as example. If we are working with presets we can "save" a lot of parameters in the Object-Info-Palette which makes it faster and easier to use.
2. Workflow
Copy Symbolfolder and PlugIn in your project and you can use it immediately. If you want to change details you can ungroup (cmd/ctrl. U) the objects into Walls and slabs. So you are able to insert Windows, Doors or changing other Details.
3. Known Limitations/Details
- Rectangular Room presets only
- Switch on/off ceiling with classes
- Texturize by classes
- Changing classes by editing preset Symbols and attach other classes/attributes
- You can Mirror the Room to get left/right rooms

JLG G5-18A and Crane
By Fiilex
Hello!
Here at Fiilex we made some Marionettes of some Aerial Lifts and Cranes! The two uploaded here are a forklift with a rotational fork, as well as a hanging crane. They can be controlled using Sliders in the OIP, and tend to focus more on conserving file size than extreme real time accuracy. The marionettes are systems of symbols placed at relative insertion points and slider inputs.
If you would like to use the object elsewhere, note that it will import many of the resources in the folder.
Despite having rotation around the x/y axis, you can use these as hybrid objects, and the file size remains as under 20 mb each.
We have other 6 other JLG lifts and boomlifts available as hybrid symbols that have been created and tested (will be uploaded in coming months), and 6 or 7 more that do not have hybrid capabilities. All follow the same ethos of conserving size, and will be under 20 mb. Contact us at fiilex@fiilex.com if you have any questions, and let us know if there are any issues!

Roadrunner Marionette
By noah90210
Here's a marionette of an American Grip Roadrunner 220 lighting stand. This is my first marionette (beside tutorial practice) so I may not have followed established best practices. Apologies in advance.
These are ubiquitous in the film industry and I often need them at varying heights for 3D views.
This is built from the symbol in the VWX library.
If anyone finds this useful but ends up making it better or more efficient I'd love to know what you tweaked.
Thanks

marionette compose test
By jcbarnes75
The marionette script works fine and creates a closed polygon until it is converted to an object node and then it no longer composes the lines into a polygon.

Framed Artwork
This object frames up your artwork.
Included are 100 frame profiles and 100 artworks*.
It's pretty simple to add in your own art or frame profiles, just load the instructions poster into the marionette. Because of these resources, the file is roughly 40mb.
I would recommend pulling any art or frames you know you'll never use out and storing them somewhere else in the resource browser or deleting them.
Hopefully it's useful.
*Permission for use of the artwork generously given by Bill Cramer & N.C. Swan.
(Built in Vectorworks 2024 Update 1 on Mac OSX 13.1)

Switch/Outlet J-Box Marionette
This marionette object builds a switch or outlet in 3d.
Based on Bruce Kieffer's great switch/outlet & J-box objects, thanks Bruce!
Options include 10 basic switch plates, 20 switches/outlets, & two colors of J-boxes in three sizes (representing steel or plastic). Allows you to pick cover style, vertical or horizontal, and 1-3 device types, as well as setting the object height above the layer elevation.
Please note that you have to pick the correct device for the cover type (ie. horizontal or decor/standard).
If you want a worksheet to pull the embedded data records, set up the marionette object and ungroup it.

Convert a 2D Poly to 3D Extrude along Path for pipe
By Haoran Yang
Hello,
In landscape architecture, the use of pipes is relatively infrequent. However, in Building Information Modeling (BIM) projects, it becomes essential to demonstrate the positioning of our pipes. This ensures that there is no conflict with other infrastructure elements. To facilitate this, I have developed a straightforward Marionette script.
For optimal use of this Marionette, please adhere to the following guidelines:
Convert 2D Lines to Polylines: Ensure that all 2D lines representing the pipes are converted into polylines to accurately process them in the script.
Specify Pipe Diameter: Input the diameter of your pipe in millimeters (mm). This measurement is crucial for accurately modeling the physical space occupied by the pipes.
Enter NHN Height: Provide the elevation (height above a fixed reference point, typically NHN) in meters (m). This detail is vital for establishing the vertical positioning of the pipes.
Gradient Input: For the pipe's slope, input the gradient as a percentage. Use positive values for rising slopes (e.g., 0.8 for a 0.8% incline) and negative values for falling slopes (e.g., -0.8 for a 0.8% decline).
By following these steps, you will ensure that the Marionette effectively models the pipe layout within the landscape component of your BIM project, aiding in the detection and resolution of potential conflicts with other project elements.
Best regards,
Haoran

Graphic Panel
This is a path-based MariObject that creates a panel with image graphics. Can be used as a wall hanging, etc. The boundary can be any shape. The object scales an image resource to fit the control geometry. Also, it attaches a record that reports on area, overall height and width, etc.
NOTE: this is all standard Marionette nodes, but uses a Fill node that is not standard (at least until next service pack). I found some bugs in the script of that node and we've got them in the buglist.

Image-Based Triangulated Panel
This is a Marionette object that uses several python libraries - Pillow, NumPy, and SciPy - to create a triangulated panel that takes its colors from the pixels of an image.
The color for each triangle is the average RGB value for all the pixels that would fall within that shape if the picture and the panel were aligned.
To create this object I used some nodes that @Marissa Farrell created, a couple from this file and one node from this file.
As this Marionette object contains external libraries, you may see some prompts to download libraries the first time you make a change. Just click OK when prompted. Unfortunately, this object does not work on PC running Vectorworks 2020. It does however work on a PC running Vectorworks 2021.
There are two files in this post, one with just the Marionette object and another that uses the Marionette object in an actual model.

Page Numbering
By DomC
This Document contains two Marionette PlugIns.
Those PlugIns will simplify the workflow where we have more than one page on one sheet layer.
1. Someone who uses your plans will have an advice if the document of the plan layout are complete.
2. You can see which page you have to print directly on the layout without counting the pages
This Marionettes supports Normal- and Landscape Format. Where pages are printed in a different order.
Note:
One Marionette (multi label) puts a label on every page and have to be inserted at the center (info-palette x0 y0 > please do not move).
The other Marionette (single label) can be putted freely on the layout. It returns the page number of its center point.
The Multi-Label Marionette, do not support uneven pages like 6.2/2.6
