[mirror a mirrored object]

Can you provide a small file demonstrating this? I can't imagine why it wouldn't work.

[Tool to align objects by distance]

Menu commands work by placing the network into the drawing area and then running it. It's possible that some of the nodes in your network are in a selected state when they are placed and are being included in the count of your selected objects.

I'll take a look at your network when I find some free time and see if it's that, I had previously reported this as an issue and it was fixed, but maybe there's an edge case.

@blimey

Sorry, I haven't gotten much further on my progress. I'll try to get back into it sometime soon!

[Creating OIP controls?]

The popup node was added after 2016, nodes are now searchable in newer versions by name and by category due to upgrades to the resource manager.

[Delete all annotations in selected viewports]

@The Hamma

Oh boy, sending me back a couple years to try to think of my reasoning 😛

It very well may be more efficient to just iterate and delete without storing them, but it probably wouldn't make a huge difference unless the file is humongous. 

[Encrypt or lock down marionette?]

@max123456

It is still not possible to lock a Marionette network or object.

@DaviesTheChair

Any chance you can share that file with me? Either to this thread or in a private message?

I'd like to take a look.

[Remove menu commands defined by Marionette networks]

Marionette Menu Commands are stored in your user folder

 

User Folder > Defaults > Marionette > Marionette Command Library.vwx

 

Open the file, in the Resource Manager you should see wrapper symbols for each command you've created. You can just delete the commands there and restart Vectorworks and they should be removed from the list.

[Weird Text Issue in Marionette Object Node]

Hi @Tom M.

Any chance you'd be willing to send me that file (or a simplified one) so I can take a look at your network?

You can send it to me in a direct message if you aren't comfortable sharing to this thread.

[Send an object]

So I think the primary reason is the command used in those nodes doesn't behave the same between networks and object nodes.

 

One way to specify the drawing order would be to use an ordered list to determine which object is drawn first and so forth.

[Graying out Object Info Properties?]

Unfortunately at this time the fields in the OIP are static, there's no way to have them rely on another value and there's no current way (that I'm aware of) to disable them.

[Marionette Bugginess]

@sully8391

Can you tell me which service pack you're running?

I don't see this issue in 2020, but I want to see if I can reproduce in the 2019 SP you're using.

 

Thanks,

Marissa

[3D Triangulated structure - Using Symbols?]

I'd have to re-explore! I actually haven't looked at this since I posted.

I'll try to take a look later today.

[3D Triangulated structure - Using Symbols?]

Hopping in to share another file that might help

 

 

[Marionette rotate Plan to 0°]

This issue is still open in our tracking system. I'm adding a note to it with a link to this thread.

[Marionette Network as a symbol in the Resource Manager - why is it triggered there?]

I've never encountered this. Networks should only run when told to. Can you privately message this file to me with the steps to reproduce the trigger?

 

Thanks!

[How to get Origin oh a text]

What point of the text are you hoping to get? The center? The point where the text starts?

 

I would recommend using Get 2D Center if you would like the center of the text, or using the information provided by Get Bounding Box if you would like to calculate a point on the boundary of the text object.

[Marionette object resets after 2D control point is moved]

Can you send me the file you're using either on this thread or privately?

[Marionette object resets after 2D control point is moved]

@rseybert

Can you tell me which service pack you're running?

[Get Rectangle - Inaccurate]

You could still take some of the recommendation from @m.graf and duplicate the rectangle, convert to poly, retrieve points, then delete. You'd just need to sort values to find the corner you're looking for.

[Get Rectangle - Inaccurate]

Right now my suggestion is to use the Get Width and Get Height in the Object Info category for those values, I'm looking into the best method for the referenced point while rotated since the naming of those points when rotated may not be accurate.
I've also submitted a bug to update the Get Rectangle node once I've gotten a good solution.

[Get Rectangle - Inaccurate]

I'm looking into this right now.

[Moving Control Point Resets all other OIP Parameters]

@AlHanson

This is a known issue and is being worked on.

[Multiple geometry as input into network.]

My approach to this would be to use 3D control point nodes. If you can provide a small file or image demonstrating a simplified object you're trying to create, I can mock up a small network for you.

[Planar boolean creates additional, unexpected objects]

@GRZEGORZ

This is a known issue! I'm working on resolving it but I think it's not quite there yet.

Let me see if I can find the latest node revision and you can let me know how it's working for you.
