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?

was hidden ^^ now it works. now i need to know how to get data in and out the database, which node i have to use?

Hi there, i got some node "Get Num Rows and Cols" from marissa here working fine. now i need to get the information out of the subrows of a worksheet. i need a marionette, which can extract the subrowed same objects, to read out how often i got those items in the file. The goal is to make a graphic bill of material for our metalworkers, because this graficBOM is only available for woodworking parts from extragroup. But i need this for self made metal parts which are connected with my "schlosserei V9" Database. Further i need a node to get and write data out and into this database. @Dominique Corpataux helped me with the start and "what might work", thx for this. but now i need some help to get specific data of accumulated parts. br KC

ok same string did it instead of equal, because its a string ^^ but somehow it does not activate the same blue node, it activates 2 rectangles i got placed in class 1_keine??

hi, some german mate helped me to get this, and it works well. now i wanna improve it not only the same objects to select, i want to selectall same objects in the same class, but the logic might be totally different or my syntax is worst as possible. on objects it works, on classes it didtn work. 😞 BR KC PS: if its getting to work, i need this as python script (how to export hole network?) and implement it as a plugin für making it "run by shortcut".

i made it completely differerent., but i made some mistake. The point was, i did not realize the pulldown menu in the OIP that this node does all 3 operations. 😞 thx ps: it worked very well as a network, but my complex network was crashing vw all times, the wrapping took 20 min and the conversion to an "object node" was not possible. I am struggling with the days i used to try it, they wont pay back. This is very easy to make in Solid Works, Solid Edge or TopSolid and there the hole stuff takes 5 minuten to make with full parametric and is only a few mb, but in VW one steel part is 50 MB it took weeks and its not working. I think i have to learn how to build such great stuff like VWX plugin objects with different styles. But it looks that no one like to teach me this, because they wont earn money to do this for customers. i will send you the wrapped node, maybe u can help me find out why it is not possible to make an object node?

Yeah, quite a lot to do for only a simple 2d acadfile.

That was what i Tried, but one supporter meant not to use this switch if u Read the tooltip It tells you something about a picture of the Layout. The Problem is still, after i finally got a flat 2d of all sections i made out of the views that the views are still 3d, and i got this 3d 4 Times if i got 4 views.

Hi there, is it possible, like in all other 3D-CADS, to export a real 2 dimensional DWG/dxf out of a layout? I assumed that VWX can do this and exported a layout of 5 cabinets. The result was 200 mB big and i reduced it with help (diff settings) from Xtragroup-Support down to 38 Mb. But why it is still 20 times bigger then it should? I opened the file with autocad and i saw: 1. it was no 2D 2. it was a block of 3D surfaces and solids. 3. the block was 2 times in the file on different layers, on the layer like the name of my "construction level" called "Innenausbau_Konstruktion" the layer are named as: -> _Innenausbau_Konstruktion (3D)-1 _Innenausbau_Konstruktion (3D) We need for architects small 2D plans, which can sent by email. What i can do? br KC

for me i seems that its only rotated not mirrored

you can put your objects in the symbol onto a layer with predfined Z height, maybe that helps too 🙂 this height u can control then in your file, even if u want to have a modified.

Also du konntest damit was anfangen? 😮 Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof.

Cant you create an input Port with the list u get out of your spreadsheet and put this input into the choice?

I made a pulldown out of the spreadsheet content. You checked the net i upped?

i need a multilevel pulldown, where 1. choice influences what 2. choice can pick. but i only got gw-basic programming skills, so vector or pythonscript is not my competence.

hi, Yes i am searching for a pulldown solution for this. But you dont need the lists, you can let VWX do it. The question here is, how many choices you need? Without script knowledge i cant modify this "enhanced popup" node, made by @MRoth. I only typed manually in the node which selection i want to pulldown. enclosed u got the node. pm me if u like. br KC datenbankausleser.vwxenhanced popup.vwx

it will work with MIX cross reference i think, thx @SimA

ok the textures were tooo big BlechRechteckig_V20_0_fast_cleaned.vwx

hi there, my marionette skills have fundamental lacks i think. my plan is to extract a metal sheet out of chart data, this works well. All data out of the selection is written in the database of the sheep and material and coating all is working fine. But now i try to make a drilling pattern into the sheet and it drives me crayz. I made zylinders for drillings and cones for counterbores then adding those geometry and then i subtracting them form the sheet. The Only thing except the broken drilling pattern, i have to get fixed (later) is the popup has to be a pulldown, but this i cant code without any skills ov pythonscript or VS. I can manipulate the pattern in the following way: - Number in X (column) - Number in Y (rows) - x start - x End - y Start - y End If u set the x-end or/and y-end to "0.5" the pattern will be symmetric with xstart = xEnd analogue y. All is working fine, BUT i made a pattern of those, 2 series for x and y coordinates and i try to "mix" them, this worked not in the start but then i exploded the lists and manually wired the x and y data into points, because i dont know how to "multiply" those lists. List1 -> (x1;x2;x3, ...; x6) List2 -> (y1;y2;y3, ...; y6) Now i need a list of points, (x1,y1;x2,y2;...;x6,y6) with the exact number of points givec by NumberX*NumberY. Because i dont know how to do it, i made this crap: But my code fails if i have less then 6 (i made 6 ) columns of drillings/counterbore because i wired all 6 X Data to the 3D-point so there are drillings at X 0 which i dont want to have i i input less then 6 columns. In Rows it works fine. I need a Node, makes only the points i need, not all wired. The german translation for the node desciption is not good too, so i dont get it. BR KC PS: And why the hell this file is 55 Mbyte ???? BlechRechteckig_V20_0_fast_cleaned.vwx

thx

No one of you had a wrapper without a port?? hmm
