  1. @Zuzzla
    Thanks for noting that. After all this is right. The node uses the key varName which represent the internal name. the key 'text' represents the visible parameter name. Because i use "if name in varName" and not name == varName it worked for me while i always not check with the full name.
    However the "text" key was the right one to use.

  2. If so i would not just loop the walls in drawing and changing the same stile hundreds of times. I would get the walls and collect the used style names. Then i would eliminate duplicate names and loop the style names. Or collect the Resources directly. 

    Beside that, i would not change object swhich i collect with "ForEachObject" directly in the "ForEachObject" callback function. I would use "ForEachObject" always as a read only manipulation.

    something like this:

    wall_style_names = []
    
    def get_objects(h):
    	wall_style_name = vs.GetWallStyle(h)
    	'''hinzufügen, falls nicht schon in der Liste'''
    	wall_style_names.append(wall_style_name) if wall_style_name not in wall_style_names else None
    		
    vs.ForEachObject(h,('T=WALL'))	
    
    for wall_style_name in wall_style_names:
      	wall_style_handle = vs.GetObject(wall_style_name)
    
    	'''security to be sure just manipulating wall styles'''
        if vs.GetTypeN(wall_style_handle) == 127:
    		#Do your component renaming code here

  3. was not able to wait and solved it with a funktion:

     

    def get_longest_direction(final_contour):
    	# Define the contour points
    
    
    	# Calculate the centroid (center) of the contour
    	centroid_x = sum(point[0] for point in final_contour) / len(final_contour)
    	centroid_y = sum(point[1] for point in final_contour) / len(final_contour)
    
    	# Initialize variables to keep track of the longest edge and its direction
    	max_distance = 0
    	direction = ''
    	longest_edge_points = ()
    
    	# Iterate over the points to calculate x and y distances between consecutive points
    	for i in range(len(final_contour)):
    		# Get the current point and the next point in the list (wrapping around at the end)
    		x1, y1 = final_contour[i]
    		x2, y2 = final_contour[(i + 1) % len(final_contour)]
    
    		# Calculate the x and y distances
    		x_distance = abs(x2 - x1)
    		y_distance = abs(y2 - y1)

  4. Hi 
    Searched the Forum but did not found another thread about the textur mapping:

    1. I have attach a textur on an extrude. The Extruse can have 4 or more vertex points of a 2D Poly
    2. Starting point is alsways the same and also the direction is known.

    Main question is, how to prevent texture mapping from aligning to the longes vertex of the face? I use as example this,  to rotate, which works.
    Also Flipping is working
     

    vs.SetTexMapRealN(rec, 3, 0, 4, angle)


    I tried this but this does not change the mapping

    vs.SetTexMapBoolN(rec, 3, 0, 7, False)
    vs.SetTexMapBoolN(rec, 3, 0, 5, False)


    What i do now is, i get the bound in x and y (view on the face) and then rotate by 90 degrees if the y is bigger than y so texture would stay horizontal aligned to the world coordinates , which works for rectangular shapes. I now have to deside if i analyse the shape (if shape is not rectangular) for the longest edge or if there would be an existing function for that.

    My testing code looks like this:

                            vs.SetDefaultTexMapN(rec, 3, 0)
                            vs.SetTextureRefN(rec, texRef, 0, 0) # flip horizontal
                            #vs.SetObjectVariableInt(rec, 540,1)
                            vs.SetTexMapBoolN(rec, 3, 0, 7, False)
                            vs.SetTexMapBoolN(rec, 3, 0, 5, False)
                            #texture part, overall is 3. Selector: init:1, flip:2, repH:3, repV:4, long edge:5, worldZ:6, auto align:7

    Short movie which shows, that the texture changes alignment if another edge is getting the longest edge.
     

     

     

     

  5. I'm as happy as a little child right now! I just made a short movie to show what I can use this for. It allows practically a real-time exchange of wall textures, which can be accessed from a shared location or via web API. The customer can see their printable areas directly with a pre-prepared image file, and I can visualize his demands in real-time. REAL-TIME-VISUALISATION :-)))

  6. After again i have to use an import for textures. I searched the script reference and found this one:

    
    def  vs.SetTextureSize(texture, newSize):
       return None


    I would say it does exactly what we searched for. size in inch. So if we want the texture should have 1000mm in real world we use newSize = 1000 / 25.4

  7. I analyzed that several times with many Networks from users. The more nodes the slower. Do not know, if it depends of "unpurged and many lines" or on the fact, that every node has a geometry representation, Circles and polylines for graphical representation and generating the script.

    My workflow for PIOs for professional usage is, to have just a few nodes. And one node contains the PIOs main-code. This can be 1000 or 3000 lines.
    image.thumb.png.bd7edd99a9dae950d5ad4febcee17d88.png
    image.thumb.png.ed58a60283758102dba442104ade9b17.png
    image.thumb.png.f7f5d8175e28ffd868681148bc8dc1f2.png

    if i export this as a python file it has 1326 lines. The PIO needs 2 seconds to execute.

    image.thumb.png.10acd2e2327eb33d289b8eb3055f2da4.png

    If i export this 500 nodes, it has 29000 lines. Those are just pass nodes. Execution Time of this PIO is 0.07 seconds. So executing 10 times (290'000 lines of code) is not even a second

    execution of the first example with 1300 lines, needs about 2seconds depending on the size and number of linkes objects etc.
    Just to show, there is not direct relation between number of lines and speed.

    I also think about optimizing. But if we say, one should optimize the network, so we have 10times less lines. It would be the development investment on the wrong side maybe. It would sound maybe for the world to say we reduces size of script 10 or 20 times. But is is the wrong priority to focus improvements on the number of created code-lines by marionette. It maybe could result in longer waiting time for your example, because the intelligents to create the code maybe needs then more time.

    Just want we think clever about where someone would invest developing time. We have maybe the same wishes and should not judge about the right solution.
    At the End, the wish speed by copy or import objects on the file. And we want security that a deleted node or wrecked graphical network does not change the script.

    I think the direction of improvement should be, to be able to dump/cache the finished script in a text-based form (one node, one resource, one stile etc.) So your 1500 nodes don't need to be part of your pio anymore. Nodes are good to easy build the script or easy edit update it. Thats why we love graphical scripting.
    But to use the PIOs in our models in a fast and 100% reliable way,  nodes are not needed. Also i am pretty sure, those are producing your speed issue not the number of coded lines.

    3 hours ago, Pat Stanford said:

    Question about this.  If you use the text resource and you want to distribute the nodes, would you have to distribute the text files also and make sure the user puts them in the correct location?  Or would the node cache the code if the text file is missing?

    It is a copy of the node content in that path and the node run without it and user get not messages about that link.
    At the time you edit the node code also nothing happens if the resource not exists, if the resource exists it will update if the resource is newer than the code inside the node. Only if you exit the node it will report, that the resource is not existing and it tries to create the path. And from this Moment you can edit the Text resource to edit the code. I think this is done, to be able to update the nodes and keep them synced. But a note will not update automatically. Because changing a node without control could break existing scripts.

    So it is a good think to keep nodes synced if needed or triggered manually. But if you developing a big code content of a node and need to run tests ever 30 seconds the workflow with a direct "import module" is better till the script reached a releasable state. The Import would throw an error a machine which is not linked to that path. So this is just a developing method.

    Then you go to the #COMMAND;REFFILE;  method.
    Also there is the Method #COMMAND;READONLYREFFILE; with protect nodes from editing. And just read the file.This is how the standard-nodes are created.

     It is thinkable to download and install the module through the modul installer of Marionette or the Marionette own installer inside the node from Vectorworks Reprository or from a python wheel url. like we import pillow, numpy etc.

  9. If you have luck a tool like ChatGPT can simplify your code or can help optimizing it.

    But we can not read take the output of those AI tools directly. Still someone have to verify the output or have to know what to do if there is still "a bug" 🐞


    Lets make a spontan test. Marionette is drawing a rectangle. A very easy one.
    image.png.38e2dd35a7c8d3f1a67e58d6a043e211.png


    I export as a script:

    160 Lines
    (cant post the code directly here)

    ChatGPT. I ask for making it more compact:

    Quote

    Certainly! Here's a simplified version of your code, focusing on removing redundancies and organizing it more cleanly while preserving the original functionality.

    Sounds good. 


    Result 104 lines. But i do not except this is faster. Or even the first version is really measurable slow just because of the code

    BTW, that faild and the  "optimized" script do not run, while the original script runs:

    image.png.248a3c05888a74713cb5ec40eaa7a96e.png


     

  10. You can refer to a "text" resource, which is you node definition code like this at the Beginning of the node:
     

    #COMMAND;REFFILE;[UsrLib]/Defaults\Marionette\DomC\SystemWand_v13.py;
    @Marionette.NodeDefinition
    class Params(metaclass=Marionette.OrderedClass):


    The system detects if you edit last in Vectorworks via Node definition or via editor in the external file and will update. But it is not a direct link to an external module. But will work if it is disconnected to the external tool.
    The negative think about this, we (or i do not know) how to update the node without doubleclick and exit the node.

    So my beste Workflow to edit external code of a Marionette Node is as following:

    example:
     

    
    @Marionette.NodeDefinition
    class Params(metaclass=Marionette.OrderedClass):
    	# APPEARANCE
    	# Name
    	this = Marionette.Node('SystemWand_v13')
    	this.SetDescription("")
    
    	# Input Ports
    	objs = Marionette.PortIn(None)
    	n_offset = Marionette.PortIn(0)
    	n_height = Marionette.PortIn(3000)
    	n_off_end = Marionette.PortIn(68)
    	n_max_offset = Marionette.PortIn(750)
    	profile_dim = Marionette.PortIn(30)
    	s_group = Marionette.PortIn('')
    	n_profile_max_horiz = Marionette.PortIn(2000)
    	n_profile_max_vert = Marionette.PortIn(3000)
    	n_strut_max = Marionette.PortIn(3000)
    	
    	
    	b_Gehrung = Marionette.PortIn(True, 'Ecke Gehren')  # 0 = Einlauf 90, 1 = Fallstrang 2x45
    	
    	
    	
    	
    	
    	wire_in = Marionette.PortIn(False)
    	# OIP Controls
    
    	# Output Ports
    	h_poly = Marionette.PortOut()
    	p_vertices = Marionette.PortOut()
    
    
    # BEHAVIOR
    	this.SetLinksObjects()
    # this.SetListAbsorb()
    
    def RunNode(self):
    	import rs.systemwandv13
    	
    	from imp import reload
    	reload (rs.systemwandv13)
    
    
    	rs.systemwandv13.run_node(self, Marionette)


    So i start normal and then i import my exernal code in the RunNode. Maybe it is also possible to import the complete node code but did not tried(needed) this yet. Important is to reload because of caching. This is a very good method for fast developing without refreshing nodes manually.

    And then the external module:

     

    def run_node(self, Marionette):
        # import modules
        from datetime import datetime
        import json
        import vs
    
        import math
        import copy
    
        from math import radians, sin, cos
        #from inspect import currentframe, getframeinfo
        #cf = currentframe()
        selection_group = []
    
    
        error_log = []
    
        # parent pio infos
        pio_handle = vs.Handle(Marionette.parametric_handle)
        pio_parent = vs.GetParent(pio_handle)
        pio_parent_type = vs.GetTypeN(pio_parent)
    	#... here you can code everything you also can code inside the node.



    Hope that helps. 

    Do not know what you want to do. I think the speed of Marionette not really depends of inefficient code. It is maybe the Number of nodes which makes it slower maybe by duplicate or copy/paste an Object. But maybe it is i am sure about this.


     

  11. Aha, then you could use this one. I like this idea. Also for myself i have tons of scripts and this one can help execute them fast with a menu command and one single click.

    Thinkable ToDoes:
    - What would be cool, a palette with a searchable list browser or similar. I was never able to create propper popup with search bar
    - maybe support for sub-folders in module directory

  12. I always try to code and comment in in english (anyway the code is not good documented on this prototype script). However this is a good idea to access to the external resource and even not copy the script resource on the working document. The steps would be:

    1. Read Workgroup folder in the Windows Registry or the Macintosh Application Support. Which can be done somewhere in this forum there is a workflow to read this path.
    2. Adapt the script (The Starter Palette is just one column, if you have over hundred script it will fill up the screen, so this maybe has to by changed to dynamically create more columns if needed)
    3. You could use the starter Script from my example.

    vssmPaletteRunner.run_palette(res_path = '/Users/dominiquecorpataux/Downloads/test2.vwx')


    I modified a little:
    1. BuildResourceListN with a path to the file
    2. Deleted the part with the palette-name-filter

    That is is defined as a class is not necessary for single use. Just is necessary if you want to call the function outside in another script to path values between different scripts.
    And the fullPath is the path to the workgroup folder Script Document. You can test with a single path to your script document.

    Two open things:
    1. I think the script have to be temporary imported to run and deleted after which looks not very elegant
    2. "vs.PythonExecute(str(vs.GetScriptResource(script_name)[1]))" runs a python script. I do not know how to run pascal code here. 
     

  13. Small Note to this

    I needed again the automated creation of textures. So far it seems, that the size of the texture is generally not consistent it the document unit is not in imperial units.
    Best solution i fount is to 

     

    #insert at the beginning of the script
    unit_original_predifined = vs.GetPrefInt(170)
    vs.SetPrefInt(170, 1)
    
    #and reverd back to preview units at the end of the script
    vs.SetPrefInt(170, unit_original_predifined)

     

  14. I already use a new Version since 2024. Had missed uploading it.
    - This would work on 2024 and i think, there was a bug with landscape and portrait format in some versions (it was exactly wrong side out). 1.0.3 fixe that issue.
    - Also new Feature with prefix and actual Datetime

    Usage:
    Copy and always paste in place. Or set coords of PlugIn to 0,0 in Info Palette. So it will automatically find the right coords on the pages.

  15. hi @raouls
    For me it works, when the option is ON. For you it works when this option is off. What i observed is the following:

    1. I have the main Window on the external screen, second screen is internal display of mac book
    2. Vectorworks is startet on the external screen
    3. If The Vectorworks  border nearer than 3 cm on the screen border where the internal display is arranged i have epic lags for different actions. Also other Things seems to get slow (Finder)
    4. If i drag the VW Window away from the border it is getting fast as expected
    5. If i turn ON (Screens uses different spaces) it also works as expected and i can work with a miximized Vectorworks Window

    So i am little puzzled. I i update my OS, it looks like, that i have to switch OFF the Option again.

  16. Hello
    I got a new MacBook Pro m3 end last year. I have sonoma 14.3. After setup my new system i had a short time of very big frustration because the performance was not as i excpected. Slow and epic lags (4 seconds or more and juddery).Also other things worked laggy like text editor or Filemaker. But there i am not so sensible.

    I think those was lags maybe another user could would take as "normal" and ignore it but i compared to my 2018 intel mac it was slower. On the internal Monitor everything was fast very fast and smooth. Also with a new user (which is often the workflow to test if it is something related to settings of the system) I found the option "screens uses different spaces" (which is translated from my german version. Do not know, if this is the exact name of the option in english too) which was turned off. After switching it on (which does make not difference for me to work) it is the best performance i ever dreamed of and very stable. Maybe can you look at that option @Dagny

    I fellow just updated his intel Mac on 14.5 and have issues. The other fellows with a Apple silicon not issues after updating on 14.5
    So personally i will stay on 14.3 till i can take the risk of something do not work anymore.

  17. Took a quick look

    I think, it is not the Marionette Network or the code inside the Marionette that produces the crash from my sight. It is the PIO which crashes by handling it in the script. I can see a crash by duplicate and move with alt-key and by edit the script. No crash with a Version, that not contains the PIO you insert in the script. That indicates, that the PIO you use inside script is crashing. Also not crash in 2024 (but maybe still an issue).

    Some Points that i saw:

    1. Insert PIO then delete after
    The strategy is, to insert a PIO which has the same size as the segment of a polygon. If a Bool is 0 then delete the PIO. So you insert the PIO, set Bool to 0 and then after insertion delete PIO. Also i see, that the text you insert is not deleted in that case what would result in async text and PIO.
    Better would be not insert Bool is 0. Also then you have to filter the rest of the network also. 

    2. Writing to the record "Korpusmöbel - Objektinfo"
    Which is a read-only record in my opinion. Or minimum will be overwritten by the PIO itself. Maybe it works but still something risky.

    3. Crash
    No idea what exactly produces a crash. Definitely no crash without PIO if i deactivate the symbol node. Also no crash, running the network not as a PIO Node just as a Network. The used cabined PIO may not be designed to exist inside Marionettes or other PIOs. That's maybe the source of the crashes. However i would 2024 give a try and skip 2023. Because there i can see no crash.

  18. Hello

    I have a PIO with Button-Widgets. One of them should convert the PIO in another PIO and back. Is it possible to delete the PIO with the Button at all?
     

    	elif theButton == cButton6:
    		if replace_object():
    			vs.DSelectAll()
    			vs.SetSelect(GlobalValues.pio_handle)
    			vs.AlertInform('Press delete after action to delete original object', '','') #This would work so far
    			vs.DelObject(GlobalValues.pio_handle) #This wont work (and if it would work i think it may result in a crash?)
