Hi guys,
Wondering if anyone out there can help me try to figure out how to duplicate symbol(s) along a path using Marionettes? Self-admittedly relatively new to marionette, but have a programming background (never tried VectorScript, mostly due to no available time). I see there is a Operations-->Duplicate node however no Duplicate-along-path node. What I am trying to achieve is something akin to the Railing/Fence tool in Landmark, but with an ability to space balustrade symbols we have already created along the path (and hopefully in future iterations draw in posts and rails too). The purpose of this is to save my designers time having to 3D the missing rails and posts while still being able to count the number of balustrade symbols in a worksheet for quantifying.
Currently, the tutorials I have viewed seem to be that the network runs and then you adjust variables to suit (e.g. polyline co-ordinates), rather than being able to free draw a polyline and have the network use the polyline as the basis of the duplicate-along-path (i'm sure my inexperience and impatience is going to land me in hot water with some of you!), again akin to the Railing/Fence tool
Would love to then extend this functionality into drawing retaining walls in, specifying the correct(ish) height, and quantify the required length of retaining boards (and hopefully posts too) by classifying the extrudes and dividing the volume by the respective cross-sectional areas.
Any and all help appreciated
