same problem here without "solid boolean". all is working fine, but making "object node" crashes VW Maybe it is something with the naming of the XG-Cabinets. Until now i am not able to modify the Xg-Cabinet-Name, maybe it is read only somehow. I can change the name of the object but the cabinet name is like a phantom. Even if i am sucessfully set the record of "Korpusmöbel - Alle" and read it out afterwards while making a text with this record value it is shown that i modified it, but in the cabinet this change is not seen. br KC Namensinputmit Aktivierung.vwx

@DomCnext problem is, if i place the same symbol-cabinet multiple times, vw wont rename it all cabinets having the same name f.E. "Korpusmöbel-53". That will result, if i ungroup the cabinets, that all the parts 3D have not a single databasenetry. Only the first one placed by marionette has all entries in all databases. the others are not connected to any db. so if i will later on use those parts i HAVE to manipulate the name, or make VW renaming them. 😞 damn, it was such a good plan.

@DomC Hi and thx a lot so far. its developing. is there any Dropdown possibility for choosing the different symbols like the "get texture" nude? I would place my symbols in a specific folder (Interior) in the ressource manager and like to have a pulldown with all symbols existing there. The Rest is working fine, except: - textformatting the measuretext (i have no chance for center aligne my text) -> should be red and "right aligned" - textformatting the assemblyname-text (RB_01 .... RB_06) should be green and left aligned - making an object node out of it VW crashed BR and thx for your help. Maybe u have some solutions for there problems. KC Namensinputmit Aktivierung.vwx

Hi, If if use this nodes. i need an additional node for makeing the text "Center aligned"? I cant find it, i have to make a few texts centeraligned but i dont get the right node for manipulating the aligned-property.

Hi There, is there any node making a text along a line? I will need it parallel to the line in the middle with a small offset. BR KC

Thanks Dom, i have to check. Ah now it works thanks. Additional question, "is it possible, to have some variables not beeing "named" by condition or otherwise deleted out of hte oip?" f.E. If my POlyline has 4 segments, i would like to have the inputvariables height and Width of the 5. and 6. Object are not beeing shown in the oip. BR KC

There is No constraints on the center

Hey, maybe i am too stupid but nothin happened ^^ except crashing VW a few times. The debug tells me "True" so VW was succesful to placing my value into the database of the 3D-Cabinet, but the Cabinet is still in original dimension. It named the symbol in the group exactly what i wanted, but something is not right, i dont get what it is. 😞 Symbol mit Parameters einfuegen_V2.vwx

sprich ruhig deutsch 🙂 oder PM ok?

hi Gregi, the Master is the symbol, which contains all the other symbols and has an OIP where u can manipulate the height and Depth of the cabinets. The Length is driven by the segmentlength of the polyline (controlgeometry). u can PM me, if u have some time to have a look.

Maybe some addable constraints, orthogonal, parallel and coincident would solve this, but i dont know how to place them

of course i knew this "crashing all the sketch segments" from TopSolid. But there u can repair all the stuff because u simply have to manipulate the points and direction, where the dimensioning is. It was really headache in the start, but did u once get how it works its working for u 🙂

Dont use the T.. ..... Word 🙂 or i am going to cry.

Hi, totally naive i made a red symbol out of a Cabinet 3D from the extragroup. Now i try to put in database entries for width/length and Height into my symbol. Can someone please give me some hints, how to go further? in the "Data-Manager" i find something, but only The Symbol definition does not contain my red saved symbol i made out of the 3D-cabinet. in plug in of third parties i find something "Korpus", but not my red symbol what is the plan i have to follow? are the nodes i find to use some database stuff. BR KingChaos

but it would be great to have some "vector to angle" node.

yeah offset the single lines half the objects width makes it.

Hi, I have to move some objects in an angle but i only got vectors, so i dont know how to calculate a vector out of an angle and there is only "vector to angle" node. MAybe someone has a reverse node or knows how this goes better with different nodes. I have a list of path extruded rectangles along lines, which generated out of a polyline (red). But the profile which is extruded allways is "placed" in the middle (center of bounding box) of my path extrude. But I need this extrudes BEHIND or INFRONT the line (The Profil has to be extruded in the edge of my ). So i thought i can read out a list of angles of the lines and use the "MOVE" node to move the Boxes half height and half width. But the node needs a vector not an angle.

i got it,

but how to drive any value into given marionettes with input variables? Ok i know how to place a symbol, but how u put in the variables into all by marionette placed symbols? I can imagine, that some kind of "get input variables" into a list and then put the global variables of your main marionette into the placed symbols?

Hi there, which Node i need to split a poly into a list of lines? I am trying to make a path extrude along a polyline, but not as 1 object along the hole polyline. Each segment should be a path to extrude a geometry along it without connection to 1 object along the poly. br KC

Hi Pat, thx. Thats clear, but it was confusing, that such constraining is not working between objects. There is results a modification of one thing overrides the existing constraint? If I try to constrain different rectangles, it is modifying those "other constraints". Is there any "horizontal" or "orthogonal" contraint i can place manually? But what is happening in the 2. clip? The measures are tipping, after i made it 0 and then with some input >100. br THX kc 2021-10-28 07-29-52.mp4 2021-10-28 07-32-34.mp4

hi there, can someone tell me, whats wrong with those ass. dimensioning? I am trying to find the logic behind it. How can i place some constraints (parallel, othogonal, incidence ..), so that VW wont destroy my sketch/associative dimension? When do u suggest to use this associative dimensioning, what for it was made, does someone use it? f.E. I made a polygon and used the object dimensioning to learn something about it. Sometimes (the left and upper part of my polygon) it works on all 3 anchor points, while i input diff values into the dimension, the right and bottom one only works on one of the anchor points without destroying themselves.

sounds like he wants to drive a lot of marionettes having the same input variables with one parameter in the file were he wants to place them.

Hi there, is it possible to set some measures/dimensioning into marionette created objects? f.E. i will make a block with marionette and i would like to have x,y and z measures like vw does? BR KC

Is here anyone, who ever copied a pythoncode into a script in VW to use it in the BOM charts?
