Hi The Field name of "Gesamt Breite" ist 'Width' not "Breite". If you change that, you will get the right object. If you set a name of the object, you change the name on the object info on the very buttom. Not the Cabinet Name. The Cabinet Name ist generated by a higher "act of nature" we are not able to write that Name field with a Script. Also ungroup I would not use. Because your Symbol is inserted as a PIO. The group around every marionette-created geometry you cant eliminate with the ungroup node. I think this could be changed with the node itself "linkedGeometry" This here, created the group:

As I understand, you want something like global variables for the PIOs on the Document. Like Title Block Project Data. There are several possibilities. I think it depends on what you can handle yourself. 3 Examples of Strategies: 1. You could get the values from a Record handle (the record definition itself not from an Object > It takes the default value). So you had a central control over those values. 2. You could push the values (with a Dialog) directly to the Marionette PIOs 3. Take the value from a worksheet This depends how your Marionette-Code is designed. I guess SimA - Method (Method 1?) would be the best option. To the second Methode. Maybe this is the hardest one because changing the OIP of Marionette is not as simple like with Standard PIOs. There is an Example in the Gallery to make this or you could code A dialog-Window Enter the Value and Push them on your Objects. For myself I use that method to backup values from the marionette on a record. So the script is updated I am able to pull the values if necessary from that record. Code something like this: import json #Globals recName = 'MarionetteObject3D' #recName = 'MarionetteObject2D'# Check, the Marionette Rec-Name for your Marionette PIOs fldName = 'NodeDef_OIPControls' #collect Objects objs = [] def getObj(h): objs.append(h) criteria = "(NOTINDLVP & NOTINREFDLVP & (C='MarionetteObjects'))" vs.ForEachObject(getObj, criteria) OIP_Name = 'Mauerlicht' #Name of the Parameter OIP_value = 1200 #value of the Parameter for obj in objs: sOld = vs.GetRField(obj, recName, fldName) #vs.AlrtDialog(str(sOld)) j = json.loads(sOld) for OIP_field in j['data']: name = OIP_field['varName'] if OIP_Name in name: value = OIP_field['value'] OIP_field['value'] = OIP_value vs.SetRField(obj, recName, fldName, json.dumps(j)) vs.ResetObject(obj)

Hello I posted a Marionette example, that installs a python pillow library from a wheel file with Vectorworks 2022. Now I stuck on Windows.

Thanks Vectorworks Inc. for the great job on our favourite core-features in 2022. That's worth a small attention from my side. (Sound Featuring Garage Band, Organic Tower inspired by Johanna Grüneberg, Marie Brackmann (Detmold University, Markus Graf) Trailer.mp4

Fantastic Julian this is a very reliable solution, Thank you. I implemented this way: dim = vs.FSActLayer() def GetDimAngle(h1): h2 = vs.FIn3D(h1) DimAngle = 0 while h2 != vs.Handle(0): if vs.GetTypeN(h2) == 2: BOOLEAN, style, angle, size, width, thicknessBasis, thickness, visibility = vs.GetObjBeginningMarker(h2) if style: DimAngle = round(vs.HAngle(h2),0) h2 = vs.NextObj(h2) return DimAngle DimAngle = GetDimAngle(dim) vs.AlrtDialog(str(DimAngle))

Dimension Direction.vwx Hello I am able to check if a Dimension is vertical or horizontal with direction = vs.GetObjectVariableReal(dim,value) On my mac version, it returns 0 for horizontal and 1.0 or -1.0 for vertical Dimensions. Unfortunately this seems not to work on Windows. There is always 0.0. I could test if xDiff is bigger than yDiff (of the Dimension Points) an decide it is horizontal but this can result in errors with some dimensions. Anyone has an Idea to get that information reliable?

What about this: def IsTagged(h): result = False; num = vs.GetNumAssociations(h) assH = None assKind = None value = None i = 0; while(i < num and result == False): assH, assKind, value = vs.GetAssociation(h, i); if (assKind == 37): result = True; i = i + 1; return result, assH; This would help finding Tagged Object. This was some I found in the Forum here. It works in a Marionette Object, which is inside a DataTag to find the tagged Object. So I think you could loop all Objects and check with vs.GetAssociation() type 37. Then you have the Tag and could check the Kind of Tag.

Hello The Object looks here as it should. So the crunchpoint will be, what is the difference between the attached file and the files you have issues with this object. I would check the following: 1. Distance to the drawing center (Vectorworks origin) 2. Model view on? 3. If you delete all other objects out of the model how your Marionette looks then 4. If the Object looks like the left picture. Will it look all right after refresh, reopen the file or copy paste on another layer or copy paste to the origin. Or does it not work at all so it cal be reproduced always or just after working a while?

The Popup list you generate delivers 3 string variables into the network. But for a popup, you need those 3 strings nested into a list as Example ['choice1', 'choice2', 'choice3'] If you run the node without list absorbing, the input with the choice would deliver 'choice1' the first time the node runs, 'choice2' the second time etc. that's how the Marionette Data-Flow works. The node repeats as many times as one input delivers values. "list absorb", is merging all inputs into a sequence and the node just run once. So the popup there will work. But because the node run just one, your dialog run just once. you could loop through the number of dialog you want to have with the integer input you have in the node itself. Or just leave the node how it is and merge the popup into one list. I would recommend this:

Hi I am close before using a custom node and I thought, this time I ask before I create a new custom node 🙂 I have two corresponding data flows in two wires. I want to add items of the second wire by counting the items in first wire. 'obj1', 'obj1', 'obj2', 'obj3', 'obj3', 'obj3', 'obj3' second wire is: 'str1', 'str2', 'str3', 'str4', 'str5', 'str6', 'str7' Somebody knows how to concatenate the strings of the second wire corresponding to the count of the items in wire 1? 'str1str2', 'str3', 'str4str5str6str7' In a second scenario, I have already grouped the second wire in lists of the lenght of counts of the items in wire1 'obj1', 'obj2', 'obj3' ['str1', 'str2'], ['str3'], ['str4', 'str5', 'str6', 'str7'] I repead: It is no problem to solve that with python, but with standard nodes I need an idea. Add List of Strings.vwx

Hi In you code you have: if dlogList would be 'hello' and x was 2, the result is 'l'. Your dlogList is not a List is is just a string. You can solve it this way in your node:

Hi I think you could do the following: 1. Switch off unit in the document settings 2. Or modify the the Node "split unit from number" as following: ',' also fix the issue, when this node is used in Countries with ',' as a decimal separator. If we anytime had the possibility for voting for small things like this. Please all vote for decimal units and all vote for point as decimal delimiter. 🙂
