hi there, is it possible to fill a spreadsheet with the subrows of another spreadsheet? i need some data out of the subrows, where vlookup (in my datastamp) don´t get, so it wont be possible to read out the data directly, but if i can copy the subrows into ordinary rows of another spreadsheet, it will work. I need it for a datastamp which works correctly if i manually copy the data block into another spreadsheet, but i have to do it by hand now and its not very comfortable. maybe i did not understood this topic, then pls ignore my question. br KC

hi there, i try to read out cell data out of a spreadsheet with the data stamp is not working at all. is it general possible in vwx 2022 to use such a lookup for my stamp, which finds a value in a spreadsheet range and return same rows (subrows in this case) different columns value? This may help me for my problem, if i need a script which can use vlookup or else.

hi, is it possible to extract the complete wrapcode and put it into a custom node OR is it possible to blean up the "spagetthilike" wrap-export code into a clean code (i cant do this by hand, i need something/someone who can do this) BR KC

If you have no clue like me, it is much more faster ^^

popup string.vwx

i had to ask: how to manipulate this code Modified April 2017 @Marionette.NodeDefinition class Params(metaclass = Marionette.OrderedClass): APPEARANCE Name this = Marionette.Node( 'Popup' ) this.SetDescription('This node demonstrates the use of a Popup OIP control. The values returned by this node will be integers based on your selection starting with 0 for the first option and increasing by 1 for consecutive options.') Input Ports OIP Controls input = Marionette.OIPControl( 'Popup', Marionette.WidgetType.Popup, 0, ['Extrusionsflaeche RR 15x25', 'Extrusionsflaeche QR 20', 'Extrusionsflaeche QR 25', 'Extrusionsflaeche QR 30']) input.SetDescription('an OIP control representing the options designated within the script editor') Output Ports output = Marionette.PortOut('s') output.SetDescription('an integer corresponding with the option selected in the OIP. Returned values range from 0 to one less than the number of options.') BEHAVIOR def RunNode(self): #inputs input = self.Params.input.value script outputs self.Params.output.value = input to have a string as an output which is corresponding to the popup selection instead of the integer of the input?

CHATgpt solved it in the 5. try #Modified April 2017 @Marionette.NodeDefinition class Params(metaclass = Marionette.OrderedClass): #APPEARANCE #Name this = Marionette.Node( 'Popup' ) this.SetDescription('This node demonstrates the use of a Popup OIP control.

But it does not work, there is no outputport on this node available.

i asked the chatGPT, whether he can manipulate the node for me.

Try the nodes you Deal with to feed only with lists instead of Single operations

Do the calculation first and minimize the extrude, Move or rotate nodes. I am struggling with similar Problem, i made Marionettes for extragroup cabinets and now i am seeking for a method to minimize the Code. U can wrap your Marionette and get the hole python Code. Then minimize it? Maybe Chat gpt can help u, i asked it today but see yourself

you see, that i cant use the data stamps in the side section? what is wrong there? Same parts are stampable in main view but in a section vwx wont get, that there is a record entry?

it is impossible to ungroup it, that would be too much work to do. It is impossible to unsymbol it, becaus i need them as a symbol to make the object useable in future projects. If i allways have to resymbol them if i want to use my unsymbolized group that is too much work to do. ah ok, i only wondered, that it can be used when the object is in a group and deeper, but 5 groups seemed to be to deep for getting a result. that vid shows u that i cant use stamps in a sectional view on things which can be stamped in a normal layout view. 1424071541_2023-05-1205-12-44.mp4

i hope u will reply as quickly as u tried to push the problem away :)

the missing functionalities: - to stamp what is IN a black symbol - to stamp stuff in a sectional view - to stamp what is in a deep group-structure has nothing to do with XG the only thing that "we cant stamp what is in a box object", has to do with XG. BUT THEY DONT HAVE ANY POSSIBILITY to fix it without your help.

Hi, the carpenters here in germany are using vectorworks interior cad and a lot of them are struggling with the lack of the data stamp functionality. It is such a cool features that saves hours of time and avoid mistakes but why it is impossible to use the data stamps for stamping stuff what is in a black symbol? Another thing isnt working, the using of the stamps for the cabinets of interior cad. The 3d-Part stamps are working, but it is impossible to stamp stuff what the extragroup uses in their new cabinets, called box objects. With taht u can place stuff parametrically in the boxes of a cabinet, but in the layout i cant use the stamps for thos box objects? In addition something isn working well, if i have stuff placed in group, in group which is in a group, which is in a group ...(i dont figure out, how deep it has to be in a group/group... that this malfunction of vewx occured) and i cant use the stamps for it. Another problem with the data stamps is, that i cant use the stamps in a section of a layout. in the main view, top view, side view it works, but if i make a sectional view it is impossible to stamp things i placed. Maybe some of this is is not known over there, but it is avoiding me and others from working in a way, the program was sold to us. BR KingChaos from germany.

@DomC do you have any idea, how i can make this happen? i got your node and it can help, but it wont do all the rest ^^ i think with this node i can place the duplicates for the specific views (side, top front maybe isometric) but i dont know how to grab the right ones to move

some problems occured, because they objects are sometimes groups sometimes solids. I cant "set entity matrix" of a group to make it go x and y. so i would have to make the record field value onto the solids instead of groups to make it easier making the objects were 0° rotated in all axises.

this node is needed, its only an example for the 2D arrangement. the stuff i need to make is something like this. this is made by xtragroupd for the CNC 3D Parts it copies all the 3d Parts flat into x-y with its name, material etc., but i need this for free parts which have nothing to do with xtragrou interiorcad. in bonus i need not only a top view of this part i need a side view under the top view and a side section right of my top view. It is a horror to make a viewport in the layout for all the metalparts i used and turn them into orthogonal views to place some measures while i have to be sure only having 1 of them in my viewport in the layout. In our business, shop interior the 3d parts of extragroup are not half the work we have to do. so it will be extremely comfortable to have such a tool for not-3D-part of XG. in the vwx file are some metal parts connected to the record schlosserei v9 i think and the corresponding list is Metallbau i think, u will see it in the bom folder in the manager. br nils BauteilableitungMetallV1.vwx

Plus i have to arrange the placement of the parts in a choosable columnsnumber to make it fit in diffferent Layouts. Btw is there a measure node which can used to automatically place aome measures?

Hi, thank you very much. I dont get what u meant in the last sentence. I dont know yet how to deal with the parts which are more the 1 time in the file. If i Analyse the file content with a Filter of All objects with database Connection it will list me all the doubled parts. If i clean the Lust with Duplikate delete i dont know whether the List can be use for Making duplicates. I am now searching for a node which can reset the 3d rotation of the parts to have them lying down in the construction Level oriented in x,y and z in the case the parts are placed and rotated. I am also searching for a node which can make the 2d arrangement of the parts in the List to have them next to each other. If all this is done i will need a sort node to have the parts Sorted by pulldownoption: Name Assembly Name Material Coating type Like it is done by the xtragroup Feature for the 3d parts. If u can Support me further in this project i will make a Metal Layout in 5 Minuten instead of 2 hours. I will publish the wrap then for the community. Br kc ❤️

@Marissa Farrellis it easy for a non-programmer like me to manipulate your "get num rows and cols"-NODE to make it count the subrows of a specific row?
