[and-node loses its function when used in red symbol and shared]

@STA

Which version was this file originally created in, do you know?

I believe it was was 2022 SP3.0.1. Might have been one version before that as well though.

I don't know how it got corrupted, but both the height DIM node and the AND node are corrupted in the Red symbols.

 

When I go to the Resource Manager and Edit the Symbol and then select the Marionette and Edit the script, this is what I see.  If I click on all of those little black dots I can get the nodes to display properly.  If I then delete the height DIM node and replace it and disconnect all of the inputs and outputs of the AND node and reconnect them, then the symbols appear to work correctly in this file and another file that I bring it into via the resource browser.

 

HTH

I don't know how that happened but it is way worse. It's great that you found a solution but it sounds kind of like a weird workaround. I have a couple of these symbols and don't want to resave each and every one.

I think there is still an issue which can corrupt Marionette scripts. If you insert a red symbol on a design-layer which have a different layer scale than the layer scale was active while the symbol was created.

 

Yes, I believe that this might have been the issue, although at first, all of them worked fine for me.

 

Maybe SP4 will help. Any new when it will be launched?

[and-node loses its function when used in red symbol and shared]

Hello good people,

I've created some marionettes for our company to simulate extendable stage legs.

In my file that is being used as a shard favorite for everybody it works fine. As soon as I import it an and-node doesn't give true/false values but only 0.

As soon as I replace the broken one with a fresh and-node everything works as expected.

[Can't wrap marionette network]

Hi @Marissa Farrell Did you get a chance to figure out what setting it was in the workspace?

[Can't wrap marionette network]

The file that I am copying from is made from 2022. The workspace that I have uploaded has been migrated from previous versions, starting at 2019 I believe.

[Can't wrap marionette network]

Still, after copying the entire network to a new file, even in the working workspace, all of the connections just disapper. 😞

[Can't wrap marionette network]

Sure thing...

Let me just edit my post and upload the correct file...

[Can't wrap marionette network]

I'm using 2022 SP3.

I just changed from my custom workspace back to the default spotlight one and now have the option to wrap the network.

 

Which setting in my custom workspace might prohibit me from wrapping my networks?

 

Thanks for the inital bugfix 😉

[Can't wrap marionette network]

I can.

I just opened a brand new file.

Put in my network and want to wrap it. To no success.

 

Curiously, when I had created the same network in another file and then copied it to a brand new file, all of the connections within the network were just gone.

[Can't wrap marionette network]

Hello folks,

 

I just created a very simple marionette network and vwx won't let me wrap it to make it into an object node.

The option is simply not there, when I right click the network.

 

It seems to me like I just ticked the wrong box somewhere, it's most likely a user error.

 

Can anybody help? 🙂

[Marionette- Offset Poly- Delete Original]

Just add a delete node for the original poly?

 

[Change symbols in drawing according to Record Field]

Hi folks,

 

I'm trying something new with Marionette where I don't want to create a new objector but want to change the class of a bunch of symbols according to a chosen drop down in a linked record.

I thought that using the name node would let me change every symbol of a certain name in my drawing but that does not seem to work.

 

Any hints on how to manipulate already placed symbols?

 

Thanks in advance and kind regards

Sebastian

[Set Record Field and Get Record field]

I just had the same issue as you.

 

Please check the screenshot for my solution

Set Text Properties with 2/3 on iJustH/iJustV should be what you're looking for.

[Marionette gets buggy after converting to symbol]

Hello again,

 

I've created a marionette which lets me adjust the length of a leg for stage decks.

Works as expected as an object node, but after making it a symbol, it's kind of broken:

1) It now has two dim inputs in the OIP

2) When looking at the actual marionette script, everything is crazy messy and nothing really seems to be connected

3) Alert dialogs that should get triggered don't pop up.

 

I'd appreciate some help 🙂

 

Thanks in advance

[Object Stacking Order]

I've had the same issue and found help here:

 

 

[Whats the right node?]

I am currently working on something similar and have two questions:

1) Are the modifications really necessary? I just put the list of options in the square brackets whiche are there by default, where you put the optios variable.

2) Is there any way to use a comma for decimals? So 0,5 instead of 0.5, which is the German way to write decimal numbers. Unfortunately at the moment when I use the comma, it seperates the two numbers, making it two unique options in the dropdown, although the comma is inbetween the two apostrophes.

 

Thanks in advance

Sebastian

[Order of symbols]

Thanks guys,

 

I used the backwards node from Dendecko's file which worked like a charm.

[Speaker Tools]

Hello everybody,

 

our company has some custom made speaker stands, which we would love to use with the speaker tool.

Is there a way to incorporate them, so I can choose them from the dropdown?

 

Thanks in advance.

[Order of symbols]

Hello,

 

I'm working on a marionette that places some symbols.

Unfortunately the wrong one is on top covering others.

 

Is there any way to either prevent this or change the order after placing?

 

Thanks in advance

Sebastian

 

[Snap-/Connectable Symbols]

That's somewhat I assumed, thank's for your answer!

 

I haven't used 3d locus points yet, maybe it's time to familiarize myself a little more...

 

As my case is more related to trussing, I might convert my frames into truss symbols and try it out.

[Snap-/Connectable Symbols]

Hello folks,

 

we use a modular wall frame system for trade fairs, simple backdrops or more advanced constructions.

We have 3d symbols for every size frame.

 

I'm wondering if it is possible to have symbols snap to each other like with the truss tools, so they will connect in the correct orientation.

 

Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany,

Sebastian

[Plane not deleted after planar boolean]

That‘s what I mean. After copying the entire network the three wrappers that import symbols (which is just a shortcut to declutter for me) have the opposite input connected but still to the same wrapper which results in the bug in your screenshot.

[Plane not deleted after planar boolean]

I have experienced the same, but would consider it a bug:

The inputs for the wrappers that import the symbols for the cylinders (normal and corner) switch the inputs when copied.

[Plane not deleted after planar boolean]

Just a quick addition regarding this: When the network is not wrapped or converted to an object node, it does exactly what I want it to do.

[Plane not deleted after planar boolean]

Hi Forum,

 

I have created a marionette network to create new symbols for our company's library.

After a lot of trial and error, I am almost there but can't figure out why the offset and extruded body in the middle is still there, although it shouldn't be after the planar boolean and delete.

The created frame should be hollow on the inside like this.

My process for now is:

Type in proper dimensions->wait for the black screen to go away->ungroup->delete inner body->create symbol.

 

I'm sorry about it being in German, I hope that it's still understandable.

 

Thanks in advance

Sebastian
