You are on the right track and very close.
If you want the output value to be a symbol name, it needs to be a string. In order to create a string in your script, you must use quotation marks. Assuming that HR4 is the symbol name, you simply have to put quotation marks around it to make it a string.
if input == 0:
self.Params.output.value = 'HR4'
if input == 1:
self.Params.output.value = 'HR5'
if input == 2:
self.Params.output.value = 'K4'
if input == 3:
self.Params.output.value = 'K5' -
Unfortunately, the Get Z at XY probably won't work because a NURBS curve likely doesn't have an actual thickness. I created a work around that might work - I created a loft based on the curve, used the Get Z at XY node and then deleted the loft.
-
If your NURBS surfaces always follow the same curvature and change only in the length that they lay on the floor, you can create a bunch of surfaces that are the same size, then use the Extend NURBS node to extend each in a random manner. The Extend NURBS node only takes a single length value as the extension, so inputting a random list of lengths to extend a list of surfaces should work.

Here is an option for the issue of the bounding box. I found points along the edges of the surface and created a 2D poly from those points.

@Ash I have updated the Temperature Chart and it is located here:
The other charts I haven't updated yet.

@jeff prince I periodically update these graphs and post them in the Marionette objects section of the Marionette forum. You can check there to see if there are newer versions than the ones you have. I updated the Wind Rose pretty recently.

Hi @cberg-
Oh, the Space tool. There is a way to do this but its hidden. The parameters of each finish "key" are there in the space but they don't show up in the dropdown menu of the space's object parameters. I am not sure why this is true. I have built a data tag that is set up like the image you provided. I don't believe there is a separate trim finish in the space, only a base finish, so that parameter isn't included, but all the others are.
Let me know how this works!

From a scripting standpoint, I think you could easily put these objects in separate classes. Putting them in separate layers can be a little trickier, because the created geometry is always placed in a group and that group will be placed on the active layer, no matter what layer the objects INSIDE the group are on. The way around this would be to place your starting objects on the layers that you want them on, and then run your script with the active layer set to the layer that you want those objects placed on.
You can do this within the script with classes using the Set Class node from the attributes folder, or with layers using the Set Layer node from the Layers folder.

I noticed that your rectangle nodes are named and when I remove the Int node then those names appear on the outside of the wrapper. To keep this from happening, you can attach a 2D Vector node with the values of 1 for X and 0 for Y to the vRot inputs of the rectangles. Those are the default values for no rotation.
-
Hi @Palle-
It looks like you have an integer node attached to the "vRot" input of the rectangle nodes in one of your wrappers. This input requires a vector - that is what the "v" means. It looks like all of the Int nodes you are using have a value of 0 so you are not looking to rotate any of the rectangles. If you simply remove these Int nodes and leave those rectangle inputs open the script will work how you want.
-
You can think of this node as an alternative to the Bool input node. The output of the Yes No Dialog is labeled "b" meaning it is a boolean or true/false value. Yes would be true and no would be false. You can connect it to any node that has a "b" input and some sort of either/or choice. When you run the network, a yes/no dialog will pop up and you can choose Yes or No.

I wonder if figuring out whether the church is visible would work better if you project from the other direction - from the church. If you have existing buildings and trees in your model, I imagine that you could create a projection from the church to the location of the building - all the building would need to be is a flat surface - and where the projection of the church hits the surface (isn't blocked by other buildings, trees, etc) is where you know that views of the church exist.

I believe it would just be easier to make the multipliers (1,2,3,...) the output of the popup and multiply that output by 12 or whatever variable integer. Again, you can use the Popup node if the multipliers will always be the same, or you can use the Popup Dialog node to have a dialog appear after the script is run. The output of the popups are integers representing the index value of the item chosen from the list. Since your list will basically be 1,2,3 etc you can add one to that integer to get the value you need. I have built some examples for you.
-
This is possible with a Popup Dialog node, located in the User Interaction folder. The difference between this node that the Popup node is that every time the script is run, a dialog with a dropdown menu will appear, and you will have to pick your option before the network will finish running. If you want a static popup that appears in the OIP of a Marionette object, you still need to use the original Popup node and create the list via editing the script inside the node.
-
In all of the nodes in the default library, there are prefixes for the inputs and outputs that tell you the type of data coming in or out of the node.
s = string
n = number
i = integer (whole number)
h = a Vectorworks object, such as a piece of geometry
b = True or False
p = point
v = vector
item = multiple value types
list = list of items
These aren't all but they are the most common. When in doubt, match output prefixes to input prefixes when connecting nodes.
-
Wrapping is just a way to package a script. You can wrap a script by right-clicking on a node and selecting the appropriate command. When you wrap a script, the Input nodes that have been given names will appear in the OIP when the wrapper is selected. Once a network is wrapped, you can then convert that wrapper to a menu command or Marionette object.
-
There aren't any specific tutorials, all I can recommend is to take apart the script you have already and try to figure out how they work. There are some layer nodes that you can use too. You can find out the layer of the space and filter it with Marionette. I have attached a sample network to the other one I sent you that does this. The network is not finished as I don't know exactly how you want the filtering to work, but I tried to show you how to implement it.
-
Yes, its just a matter of creating a filter based on the layer of the object. You can do this with Marionette or you can add a field in your worksheet and query it there.

Hello @Mi&D-
Here is a video that shows what I mean. I run the script in the video and update the tags so they show the correct info.
-
Sorry I meant to write set up Storys before you set up Layers - this is because you can then use CreateLevelTemplate to create your default story levels as well as have the option to create associated layers at the same time.
-
Hello @C.Miguel- sorry for the late response but I think I have discovered a bug in the story setup commands. I have attached a file that works, but it is important that you set up storys BEFORE you create classes. This is one of the few things that have a set order of operations in Vectorworks. I would also recommend you add in the command CreateStoryLayerTemplate and use that to create your layers, not creating them first and then associating them to a story.
The bug I noticed is something to do with units. The document units of the attached file are millimeters, and the command seems to work as millimeters, but if it is set to different document units, it still reads the number as millimeters. I will file a bug but until then I would recommend creating your scripts to set up files using millimeters and then change the document units after running the script.

Hello @Mi&D
I have made a script that I think does what you are asking. It takes the total area from the worksheet and writes it to the Additional Info 2 field of the correct space. It works on all the spaces in the document. I have wrapped the network and given it the name "Apply Apartment Area to Spaces." It works, but the space tags do not update automatically - they have to be "bumped." What worked for me was to select all of the spaces, and choose the correct space label from the dropdown list (even if it is already selected). This will update the tag to show the correct info.

Yes, @Dishav Vasudev there is now a node in the default library that allows you to do this. Its called the Popup Dialog node and its in the User Interaction folder. the way it works is that it takes a list input generated by the script and when you run the script, a dialog pops up and allows you to choose from a dropdown of that list.
