mega thx
-
i am trying to make a popup for a texture selectioni n a marionette network, somehere here who knows how to deal with?
-
hi thx for the replies.
rendering is doing well. the general performance of the interiorcad is our problem. the cabinets are too slow, sometimes it takes up to 30 s to refresh them EACH.
The files are 300-1000 MB and i use referenced VWX files.
The furniture-cabinets plugins and marionettes are the problem, in my opinion.
i made some marionettes -> red symbols which i place in the boxes of the cabinets so they fit in there.
only the project data is in the intranet/lan.
the workgroup libraries we use are synced on local machines.

Hey,
thanks but, yes, we are doing this with our project files. (else we would have 3 gb vwx files ultra slow)
but in the interiorcadworld this is not possible.
the cabinetmanager (a plugin for cabinets with cnc-interface) are importing the symbols i can apply in the boxes. This symbolsalat is making my brain explode 😮
now i am trying to workaround this by searching for a script copying the symbols in an open file into all vwx libraryfiles where same named symbols are existing to make the chance only 1 time.
an additional complication is, that symbols with drillings or routingpaths hav to be blue ones to make the processes work.

Hey,
after buying two different workstations (7 and 5 k Euro) with the hope the program will be faster we have now same speed probs like before.
On an average mac the programm is still faster and more stable then with this machine here. and yes i configured it into "ultimate performance".
Does anyone here knows, which processors, boards, workstations or else is best running with VWX? AMD or INtel?
we put the windows swap file on ultra fast ssd but ... no better performace.
Why there are some "intel efficieny kernels" and why VWX is using them, even if i told my system DONT USE THIS?
I have here some HP Workstation.
with
each vendor is teeling me, this machine is x times better then the requirements are telling us, even guys from different brands then HP thinking this workstation was best in under 5 K euro 12 month ago.
i cant explaine to my bosses another fail investition in hardware in x10.000 Euro without any feelable effect in working faster with vwx.
We are using a synctrayzed workgroup-libraries local on all machines. This gave us some ultra dataspeed sure, but the hole program seems to be slow it up.
After two years of recherche, i found nothing with processors or other devices (except mac) we can buy to have best possible perfomance.
No one from VWX until yet is brave enough to tell me which devices i have to combine.
We are making furniture with extragroups interiorcad for shops, supermarkets and private customers with high end rendering.
MAybe some guys here work with windows and can tell me what we can do.
Even to run the program in administrator mode, to avoid having trouble with some firewall permissions of the clients in the network are not fasten it up. this adminusage is not good, because the "local admin accounts" having not the same rights like the premade user accounts on our servers.
Its like
i am going to buy a new pc next year, but i dont know what kind of windows pc i have to buy for having best possible vwx performance.
I am a poweruser (typing up to 450 cpm), using all possible shortcuts in VWX without clicking the mouse on any menu. I am the editor of the library files and i need some high-end-preformance with a windows VWX-Machine.
Its not the solution to change the 3D program, we are to far forward with vwx now but i have no other clue then getting a new machine, to have it running faster.
In addition new versions of VWX in the past had have more features, so they are running slower ?
I have to wait here for some processes up to 30 seconds.
There must be a solution where i can have one computer for under 10k € which is making the machine waits for me, not me wait for the machine.
I hope there is somone who hears this and can dry my tears for wasted lifetime waiting for VWX beeing rdy for next input or calm me down because of "unexpected shutdowns of the program" make me enrage. ❤️

hi there,
we got huge problems with changings of symbols in the workgroup libraries.
Often i have to modify existing symbols in some library files.
Worst thing is, that VWX is copying all "sub"symbols into file where u have symbols which use this subsymbols.
One bad thing is, that we got HUUUGE files on the server because all "sub"symbols existing in all files. The other thing is, that i have to replace all of this in all files if i have to modify.
so i type in the symbols name into the search field in the ressourcemanager.
What is the procedure here?
do i have to open alle files where this symbol is existing to replace it?
This is not possible, there are too many files and i tried to "drag and drop" the modified symbols into the library files. Sometimes its working, sometimes not.
Could there be a script, overwriting the same named symbols of an opened file to all files in the workgroup library?
It would thake weeks and i will forgot some if i do this by hand each time.
Why the hell, VWX cannot be configurated that the symbols automatically can be referenced like other 3D cads do it? I am sure that i am not the only one struggling with this.

maybe some engeneer can code an AI based tool, which is translating the spagetthicode of the wrapped networks into clear short code.
this would fasten all stuff up AND you can use it as a command.
I have some real complex networks with thousands of marionette nodes in wrappers, but they are too slow for using them in normal day.
-
i had this issues with some concatenate nodes in general u can copy the code from the 25 into the 26? 😮
-
is there any node, to get the angle of a point on an arc?
i have this geometry arcs 800+2 mm radius
, and i want to make some consoles for holding it, like u see in this straight version
i need 2 parallel holders on this but i like to get the angle at a specific point on my arc-shaped geometry.
like this,

here is the file with the wrapper, maybe someone can help me to get this running
-
aehm, this stuff is not working as expected.
the wrapper and the network are working perfectly
it is a composed poly out of 1 poly, 1 line and another poly then closed and extruded.
all 3 got 1 point each other and its open, so i close poly it.
the extrusion is solid all is good.
then i object node it, and its flat like a piece of paper??
and if i make a group out of the marionette object, it is seperated in the 3 2d Elements
i combined before.
Does the compose node not working probperly in object nodes, so that vwx can extrude 3 2D objects? or what is the problem here?
i need a solid in an object node i will make a red-blue symbol out of it to use it in the cabinet-generator of the extra group.

compose ... thx :=)

is there a node for combining polylines?
-
i got:
- 1 poly
- 1 line
- another poly
and i need to join them into 1 poly.
i cant find a node for it, maybe someone has something?
BR
-
i got it, but i am lacking a "join polylines" node.

gibts ne scale node?

hi,
ich have some task here, there are 2 polygons, a red and a green one.
and i need this polygons to morph, if i wan to have them larger.
the rectangle u see is defined, and the polygons should fit into it, but the middle part should not be changed in its dimension.
the upper right section (is horizontal) should lenghen if the rectangle is getting wider.
the lower sections are 1 ° angled and should be lenghten if the rectangle is getting higher.
How to do this with a marionette?
i would place 2 2D-Symbols wich each polygon into my file and then grab them with marionette and morph.
so i can place the marionette as a boxobject into extragroups cabinet. it will be some kind of glassparts for cooling counters, its for making them loose less cooling in the back area like this screen u see it.
the runningwagons with all profiles i had rdy.
they are placed behind cooling devices and i need them to morph automatically.
the horizontal section will be "easy", i think i have to get the vertex node and then pick both points on the top left vertical line and move them to the left but the lower 1 ° angled section will be more tricky. i could moce them 1° downwards. but i think it can be done more easyli?
is there a parallel-morph node?

ok all marionette symbols has to be blue, i made them black for having them in the construktion layer and forgot 1 to make it blue again ^^

HEy Marissa,
now it works properly.
but i think there is some great potential for fasten it up.Favoriten Marionettendübel.vwx
It would be great to have an AI tool, which can transform the spagetthicode of the whole wrapped network into a clean fast code.
Do u know, whether there is an opportunity to have such a tool, or a programmer, who can do this for money?
The only problem occured, is that the XG cabinet does not copy all the box-object symbols, if i make the cabinet as a preset for other users. Then some symbols are missing, if i use this cabinet as a template.
But if i copy the cabinet frm 1 to another file all is running good.
There is a dowel and a screw (black symbol), i place with the marionette. This objects are sometimes missing, when placing a new cabinet and morphing it into the sample u see in the file.
The marionette is smaller and easier to use that black symbols, but if they are missing, the marionette is not stable, because i moved some stuff and rotate it with lists, the list then have not tthe same length so there are problems, but if i copy the symbols by hand its ok.
In general we need some programmer or tool, which can translate the wrapped code into a solid object with parameters. Maybe we wont get this done without me making some SDK school.

hi there,
i made some cool marionette symbol for my interiorcad cabinets.
all went good, but after i restartet the computer there are failures occuring
f.e. this one
dont know why this is happening, all went fine before and i changed nothing in the marionette.
some wires are not connected any longer ...
i repaired and it worked again.
can someone have a look at my spaghetticode and help me finding problems, what cause this wire disconnect??

Hey @Pat Stanford
for me as a nonprogrammer, it is hard to make the code by hand.
Is it possible, to convert a marionette network into a code i can use as a script?
i found out, that the base class "keine" is the 1. class in the clas order in the document, so i can check, whether class-nr.1 is named "keine", then i can delete 1_keine and all stuff in this class is moving to keine.
but when class nr.1 is "1_keine", i have to check, whether class "keine" exists and if yes -> rename "keine" into "keinetemp" then rename 1_keine into "keine" and delete "keinetemp".
would it be possible for u to script this, that i can use it as a script or shortvut in my plugins?

in general, can i read out, what symbol is visible in my viewport?
Else i have to do this all by my hand?
i would check, in which row the sketchNr (in this case 01-BL-ET-027-V1) is shown so i can read out the name which is in the same row.
i used this code in data stamp
to seek after the name of the item, and then looking up, in which field in the WS its located to find the counter/quantity of it.
But i dont know, how this differs, if i use it in a script
