Fantastic @Nikolay Zhelyazkov You saved my day!

@Andrew Lock You have a lot of differences in your Organisation (Input Blue Symbol oder Input Control Geometry) of the geometry input. The Following rules you have to follow: 1. The Input of the Reshape node has to be a group. or a Symbol the content is reshaped 2. Only Content which are solids, (Extrude, Volume Add etc.) will be reshaped. Your content are groups. And in the groups there are 3D polys. This will not work at all. The Reshape node will ignore groups in groups from reshape, and will not reshape meshes or 3D Polys or planar objects 3. The Insertion point of the control geometry is back left. Fix the following Variante A: 1. Ungroup the group in your 3D Symbol. 2. Ungroup every group once and Volume operation Add Volume of the 3D Polys to get a solid. Remember, groups will not be reshaped. Fix Variante B: 1. Make blue symbol 2. ungroup the group in group in your symbol and change to solids Fix Variante B: Just paste the Control content (no 3D polys please) from your symbol to the control geometry directly. Group this objects. You will not need a symbol then Attached a movie with Variante A with your original Example Variante A.mp4

@caboom You could try out this:

Hi This thread is a little older. I just had to install pandas and it worked with the following script (VW 2020). Not tested on Windows. Newer Versions of pandas maybe possible but some of them requires python 3.5.3 and we have 3.5.2 embedded in Vectorworks import sys import Marionette import platform import os Usr = vs.GetFolderPath(-12) (major, minor, maintenance, platform, buildNum) = vs.GetVersionEx() if platform == 1: Path = Usr + 'temp/tempImg.png' else: Path = Usr + 'temp\\tempImg.png' vs.AlrtDialog(str(sys.version)) if platform == 2: pandas = 'https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/9f/df/6718044777d8a76532cb219a7604606e784bf630fe724a3fec2000ce31b1/pandas-0.21.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl' else: pandas = 'https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/69/c2/0323c5bdb0d0b8b9e07dc96e81fb13155784a4b2d5cb1feaa110261e5ae3/pandas-0.21.0-cp35-cp35m-macosx_10_6_intel.macosx_10_9_intel.macosx_10_9_x86_64.macosx_10_10_intel.macosx_10_10_x86_64.whl' if Marionette.VerifyOrGetLib('pandas', pandas): pass else: vs.AlrtDialog('Modul pandas ist bereits installiert')

You can try it out manually. Just Make a Symbol of your contour and make a blue symbol (In Gruppe umwandeln) in the Symbol settings. Then insert your symbol. As you can see, your contour it is a single object. The same behaviour as if you insert it in a marionette script. A good start to make a script is to have a definition of parameters and some example drawings. Also always try to find out if it is already part of standard-functionality . So you or anybody else is able to see, how complexe or simple your Programm will be. For most project you should calculate 4-5 days if you start from scratch. Maybe there is something similar already there (I remember a Frame example here, which also used symbols as a profile for path objects)

We are talking about BLUE symbols, with the symbol setting "insert as group"? Or red symbols, which are containing a PIO. As Pat mentioned, a single object (polyline as example) will be inserted as a single object. Multiple Objects as a group. The Croup content you can reach easily with the Marionette Content Node. Split them with the List Explode Node.

@Dod Definitely the ConvertToGroup Node converts the input to a group but there is no output (this node is junk, sorry :-). I think there is no easy and quick solution right now. I would strongly recommend using blue symbols for that what you want to do with the symbol. You can activate and rightclick all symbols in the resource browser and then "Symboleinstellungen bearbeiten" > "in Gruppe umwandeln".

Yeahhh!

The Question seems not to be very common (I was not able to find something similar in the script forum). The Attached Scripts converts the selected symbols to groups and attach the colors of the symbol to that group. Made to fix some incompatibility with DWG Block Colors. Maybe some one else can use it. The Attached File contains two Scripts 01 > attaches class colors, 02 > attaches colors from the attribute palette. Symbol to Group Attributes.vwx Symbols2GroupColors.mp4

Hi I am not sure, if I unterstand it right: 1. If you have a door from room_1 to room_2 you want to have 1_1_2 2. If you have a second door from room_1 to room_x you want to have 1_2_x If you want this, it will in my opinion make something you maybe not want to have. Because room_1 and room_2 values follow the stacking order. Or if you just count unique ID same room-room pair (which normally will counts one if not two doors connects the same room pair ) As Example you have 100 doors from hallway to rooms. It will not automatically count all 100 doors to the hallway position. Did you already solved that point? Ideas: Sort by room number etc. to get a reproducable order. Also we could solve that if you get the wall direction of the parent wall of the door and look the banding of the door. So you could see, in which room the door opens. If you have a door without opening, it will be hard to deside, from which room you get to another room. You have to build a complexe network of room-room connection which sort parent room (defined somehow by entrances etc. -could be very complexe(impossible for us) I think) and child room. Or you just get the door opening circle or another indicator and check if this is in another room By the way back to your counter: You don't store x, y, and number in a global list and reset them to zero every new door in your door iteration. So it is hard to check which ID are already used by another door. Don't would think about this till the first point is not clarified.

Hi As far as I know on Windows it is stored in the Registry in Current User and on Mac in the User/Library/Preferences. I am not sure if this works in your situation. With python I think it is easier to get access to the system files. Maybe this also would work with a pascal script ... Windows: from winreg import * aReg = ConnectRegistry(None,HKEY_CURRENT_USER) aKey = OpenKey(aReg, r"Software\Nemetschek\Vectorworks 24\General") WGF_Path = QueryValueEx(aKey, "Workgroup Folder 0") #vs.Message(WGF_Path[0]) target = WGF_Path[0] Macintosh: import plistlib MacFile = 'Users/userName/Library/Preferences/net.nemetschek.vectorworks.2019.plist' pl = {} with open(MacFile, 'rb') as fp: pl = plistlib.load(fp) vs.AlrtDialog(str(pl.get("NNA Workgroup Folders"))) vs.AlrtDialog(pl["NNA Workgroup Folders"]) I needed this for a quick and dirty job. For sure it could be enhanced as Example by not using a fix path for the user Name: import getpass var_username = getpass.getuser()
