now it works, maybe my boolean node was corrupted, i used the node from AlanW and it worked perfect ... :()

Hi there, I am genereting some parametrical steel/alu/stainless steel parts with database entries with "sales info". to ensure our draftsmen can only use restricted material AND sizes of this material (in this case metalworks -> stainless steel, crude steel, steel sheets etc ) i need some kind of popup, which is driven by some chart, where i can input the suppliers materials & dimensions. The user has to pick out of a popup: 1. kind of Material (sheet, L profil, T profil, rect. tubes, circle tubes ) -> we only have 1 supplier he can supply the lists out of his "shopping cart" 2. the dimension (w,t,l) 3. Coating/finishing manuel input has to be: 4. Name of the part 5. information 4 & 5 must get into the database "Schlosserei - Bauteilinfo" in the fields. For now i am seeking a way to put exceldata into a VW chart which drives the popup names and parameters. Later on will need some additional help. Some stuff is working well, maybe with too complicated nodes, but i think its working. In the end i think i need a profilesymbol with a polyline for each profile we use and the popup 1. will pick this symbol and then extruded into the length needed. But the 1. step is too hard for me too take it alone, maybe someone knows what i am planning and can help me with the popups. br KC

the order might be wrong, it never subtracted the small one from the big one .. maybe bec. both objects are in a group? yesterday i had it working after long struggle, now it wont work. not the subtracted circles or the solids.

can i call u now?

i tried the hollow with a subtraction -> nodes, but it wont work.

uhm, thx for this input on "how to use subtraction in marionette". but in my file the subtraction with "solid boolean" wont work and i dont get the mistakes i made. i just want to make a simple "circle pipe" and if that works a simple "rectangluar tube" with parametric l,w t and mat thickness.

Hi there, is anyone here knowing which Nodes i can use for: - making "hollow" objects with specific material strength -> so far i could use a subtraction, but maybe there is a way for marionetting it directly - roundings/chamfering an polyline? BR KC

yeah, i use this ctrl-mouseclick for duplicating. now i know the interaction, thanks.

no answer is an answer 🙂

and what does this button do? thx TomW

where i can change it, bcd? i would like to have duplicates without offset while pressing "ctrl d"

Thanks, ah ok, but my teacher told me to duplicate, i thought it would be possible to manipulate the duplicate tool. 🙂

Hi all, in some tutorials the ppl duplicate objects and the duplicates have not a position offset. If i duplicate some stuff i allways have an offset in x and y? BR KC

Manuel, jann er nicht die Daten der Tabelle in die Datenbank schreiben? Die wird doch aktuell gehalten, oder?

How U can Manipulate your Symbols, Red Symbols Made by Marionette? With the get and "Set record" you Manipulate the Database records of a symbol. If your Symbols are working with Parameters of the Database this ist not so complicated. BR kc

Hi all, i have to manipulate the working plane for different usagss so i am seeking for Nodes you made or downloaded, which can change the active working plane or better create a working plane and activate it. If there are some in my ressource, i did not find them maybe of bad translation or i am kind a blind. BR KC

I got a hp z6 g4

It Would be possible to Sketch a whole Shop interior in an hour, and it is changeable in 10 min to All u could change it.

You can use a value node, if it exists. ^^

What boolean?

What u want to input there? Which record? For me the project is canceled, because i cant manipulate the xg cabinet Name. The rest is done, if i can manipulate the cabinets name i am a vwx arcmage and i can clone cabinetstrings with a polyline rdy configured, connected to each Other parametrical, deactivatable and Named with cnc.

U got some hints, where i find the nodes for working planes?

A ok working plane not construction layer, i understand

Yes, but if i have 10 objects with Different heights it will result in 10 working planes. Is it possible to make a text in the y-z plane?

Workaround, extrude that text 0.1 mm and rotate it 3d?
