This Network ist not very flexible (world based values, just one row) but still useful.
You can insert and and ungroup for individual layout etc.
 
Note!
1. First delete all classes and replace to "none" or "keine"
2. copy the object on your file
3. If you do not delete classes on the original, you will paste the classes from the example in your file

During my last Marionette-Project, I produced some simple geometry nodes. Which maybe can be useful to can make geometrical constructions instead of mathematical (trigonometry) calculations.
The Nodes:
"Perpendicular from Point to Line", "Parallel from Line through Point", "Circle-Circle Intersection", "Line-Circle Intersection", "Line-Line Intersection", "2 Circle Middleline" and some more.
Also the more Complicated Nodes "Circle tangent to 2 Circle", "Point or Circle tangent to 3 Circles"

Three Examples of Marionette PIOs of Circular Stairs.
 

Importer Nodes for the most used external python packages.
Tested with VW 2020 SP1, Mojave 10.14.6 and Windows 10

This Nodes breaks up and scale a 3D Solid Geometry and the result is similar like a 2D Geometry reshaped by the 2D Reshape Tool.
The Input Geometry (Geometries) have to be grouped. You can input it from symbol or control geometry. 
 
The Node is designed with some love to detail and make the job in many situation just right. It follows some rules:
1. reference Point is left bottom back
2. Overlapping geometries over the zero point to left, back or bottom are handled symmetric. You can use locus points to direct the correct symmetry.
3. The nodes cut a geometry in 3 parts. the end parts are called "caps". The Node allows to scale the caps or the middle part (in most cases the right mode)
4. It is necessary the input geometry is a group.
5. Grouped Objects completely inside caps, will be moved as well
6. Objects between the caps, will be moved half value
 
This advantage of this node, is to allow an incredible fast production of a specific type of PlugIn Objects (Reshape in x, y, z direction Middle Part is scaled like Tables, Pillars, Handles etc.)

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.

Hi
This Examples shows, how to automatically create sheet layers and viewports from objects of the design layers. In this example, a sheet layer will be created for every exhibition place available on the design layer. It creates a 1:20 close-up from the specific exhibitor's place and an overview plan with a marker of the exhibitors place.
 
This Network-Template could be used whenever you want to create automatically documentations out of your drawing. As Example:
- Put a Viewport of every Space Object in your drawing on SheetLayers
- Put Viewports from Building Elements close-ups (Windows, Doors etc.) on sheet layers
 
Also this Network contains some very powerful custom nodes:
1. Enhances BBox, Enhanced Rectangle, PutByRefPoint those are just to save time for calculating width, length and ref point of objects
2. Function Two (like standard function node with two inputs), SetParent
(1. and 2. Already available on this forum)
 
3. CreateLayer
4. CreateViewport
5. VP Layer Visibility
6. Add VP Ann (Annotations in Viewport) 
 
7. Nodes for getting Marionette OIP Data which is not possible with "Get Record Field"
 
 
 

This is one of the files used in the Marionette launch video. It was created by Dominique Corpataux at Computerworks.
 
 

A Node which creates Measure Lines in Polygons (Line from every vetex point to every other vertex point).
 
1. p2p Lines:
  
 

 
 
 
2. Perpentidular Lines (Perpentidular Line from every poly vertex on every poly edge):

 

 
 
To sort out needless lines, there are several filters integrated:
1. Double Lines automatically filtered with an epsilon (p2p is not the same as perpenticular if you look all 15 digits)
2. Measure Lines, which are identical with poly edges
3. Measure Lines, which are outside of the polygon
4. Overlapping lines. If two lines are parallel and both points of the smaller lines are on the bigger line, the bigger line is filtered
 
5. Filter Lines over and lower than min max values 
 
6. An Option, to return a number of length (Return first x values). As example if there are measure lines with the length (1.2, 1.2, 1.25, 1.5,) and the value is 1, two lines with 1.2 will be returned. This value is holding on perpendicular and p2p lines. 
 
Summary:
Turn off Debug options like "Show Edge", "show Outside Poly", Filter small length (niches) and set "Return first x values" on 1 or 2 to get optimal results. So a normal result will look like this:
 

 
Attached there are three examples. An Example with spaces, An examples just with polys and an example as PlugIn. PlugIn is good for playing with the options to see changes prompt.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Example of a 2D/3D Marionette PIO with a Custom Wall hole.
The Geometry of the Window and the embrasure is based on a symbol. Also the 2D Drawing is based on a symbol. The Geometry is reshaped by the 2D and 3D Reshape node. So the Script itself is relatively slim.
 
Replace the Geometry with everything else you can draw. Generic solids are recommended. Also you could script some additional geometry for window division while frame is parametrized by reshape node.
 
This will go on. It took about 2 hours to draw the geometry and 2 hours to parametrize it. Impressive, how quick we can produce PIOs with Marionette based on that workflow.
 

Show Size of the active Document

This Wrapper contains two Marionette Nodes:
1. GetActFile -> Returns the Path of the Active Document
2. OpenDocFolder -> Starts a Subprocess of Finder (Macintosh) or Explorer (Windows) to show a Window from the input Path
 
Just Test by executing Wrapper. If you like it, add it to your Marionette menu commands.

Attached a vwx with nodes. Some of them already shared as separate files. Also the list is not complete, not perfect and has no warranty of being up to date. Also some nodes may be outdated, obsolet or buggy.
 
Take note:
1. I tried to track the nodes with an addition record format
2. Marionette Nodes are linked to a record format, this record format contains descreption and Other infos from to the node. 
3. Also this Record contains a rating of the node (internal rating for me) like is this node hard to make, will it be useful for many users or just for one special case etc.
4. The Record can be linked manually to a node and then the node's Data can be written by a script. Ration Infos logically has to be attached manually
5. On the document is a worksheet with all nodes listed
The Info below is originally from the nodes (included original misspelling etc :-)

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.
 

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.

A Rectangle Line Pattern with a random option.
 
Also the files show, hot how to project on a NURBS Surface. This 3D Projection contains two additional custom nodes.
 
1. GetZatXY (Also used in many other examples on the community board)
2. GetZamong Pt. Not so easy to understand. This nodes calculates the z value of a 2D Point between two 3D Points without trigonometry (faster).

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) 
Bar Diagram.mp4

If you need Worksheet-like Numbering like A, B, C .... AA, AB ..... AAA .... This node offers you an easy solution.
There are two nodes for both directions.
 
Limitations:
1. Input from special characters etc. will result in wrong values or errors. 
 

Some Ressource Types (such as dimension standard or text styles) are handled by an index number. This node helps to find the index of those resources.

This node creates optional a rectangle and returns the corner points of that rectangle.
Often there is a need of a rectangle and the corner points. If the rectangle is rotated, it can be a cramp to calculate the corner points. I hope this node can help to simplify marionette workflows.

This Node creates a new layer and keep the active layer the active one. 
It has a popup witch allows to choose sheet or design layer. It returns a  handle to the new layer or a handle to an existing layer with the same name.
 
Like ever .. with not warranty try first in an empty file and be careful creating thousands of layers or layers with the same name as other objects in the drawing. 

Insert Symbol in Folder Node:
 
1. Move the Symbol with the input name in the folder with the input folder name
2. If folder do not exists it will be created. If no symbol name is inputted, the folder created also
3. If the folder name is taken by another object, the folder will not be created

With this two nodes, we are able to set or get the parameter of an Marionette PIO or wrapper.
Can be used to access the values in the OIP by script or another Marionette.
The Screenshot shows an example in which every of those pillar is an own marionette PIO (Script as symbol to instance the PIO). 
 
Note:
It is not possible to write the parameters via Worksheet. Also it is not possible to read Marionette Object parameters directly into a worksheet. To read Marionette object parameters in a worksheet I recommend to write data into a record format and list those values in a worksheet.
 
 
 

What is the distance of the middle top point to the insertion Point (left bottom), if your rectangle has 175.5° degrees? Not so easy calculate the move vector or the rotation for that. This node can help you to use your time for other challenges. You can place your rectangles with every standard reference Point in any angle in degrees.
