[How is the order of objects assigned?]

Thank you very much for your responses,

Although there are no miracle solutions, I am delighted to hear that this is an amusing problem and that the execution order of a Marionette script is unclear.

In fact, strangely enough, when creating the parametric symbol, the text is placed above it.

So in the end, I didn't need to create ungrouped groups.

 

What came to mind when reading your responses is the following:

Does creating “network envelopes” also affect the execution order of the script?

I will test this soon.

 

Thank you again to everyone for your interesting feedback.

I always use the list ordered and group > ungroup afterwards - works well for all 2D objects

Hello, thank you for your reply.

Yes, I can try that. I had heard that this was a possible solution. But I was wondering if there had been any developments since then.

Best regards,

Raph

Can you share your file so I can take a look? 

 

Marionette networks are difficult when it comes to stacking because the order the traversal up and down the network isn't really straightforward, it often works better when you create a Marionette Object to make sure what you want is on top, but once I have an idea of what you've done, we may be able to work around that if a Marionette Object won't work for you.

[How is the order of objects assigned?]

Hello everyone,

I am facing a problem that many people have probably already encountered. With the help of Marionette, I draw a rectangle and some text. Unfortunately, the text is placed below the rectangle.

How can I instruct Marionette to place/create the elements so that they appear in the correct order?

I tried adding a node after creating the text with the code:
vs.HMoveForward(h, True)

But without success.

Thanks in advance.

[How can we extrude a 2D surface?]

Hello,

 

Thanks for the answer

I opened the file and did the test unfortunately it doesn't work either.

Because it doesn't generate 3d parts!

 

Can you check this by first deleting the objects created by the first code?

greetings

Hello,

Why a working script stops working after an envelope has been made.

 

🤔

when the script is run, extrusion is performed

but once the envelope is created, there is no longer any 3D visibility

Hello,

does anyone have a solution?

[how to sort the object info palette]

Hello

Thanks for this addition

ah... it's just done with a number

what I didn't understand is that the number is not visible!!!

 

Thank you

[how to sort the object info palette]

how waou

 

How did you do it?
This way is already good!

 

I wonder if it's possible to have groups

like delimited containers

but ... separated this way is fine

 

thanks

[how to sort the object info palette]

Thanks for your answers

yes of course putting a number is a simple and effective solution!

I was wondering if there is a solution to do it in a hidden way?

I remember another parametric symbol where I tried to place a “_” before the name of the parameter entry.

But it doesn't work!

Another question ....
is it possible to make groups?

In this case, it's a matter of placing symbols on the left or right.

Would it be possible to make one group for right- and another for left- heights?

 

Thanke in advance

[how to sort the object info palette]

Hello everyone,

here's a new question....

 

I'd like to be able to make groups or, and, above all, sort the options according to my choices. Currently, alphabetical order is preferred... grrr
how do I sort the item info palette?

Is there a trick?

 

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I'd like to create a parametric symbol that extrudes a 2D surface.

It seems relatively simple to me, but there's a left and a right.

According to one criterion it should be one or the other

Hello everybody,

 

Are you also experiencing problems with the new version of MAC OS Sonoma 14.5?

Since I installed it, I've had display latencies on Vectorworks 2024 SP4.

Do you have the same problem?

You can better during symbol creation raise it to the final AFF level you wish and it will insert accordingly.

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback but I'm not sure I understand...

The symbol exists, I just call it up and place it on the drawing.

The problem is that I can place it in 2D (X,Y axis) but not on the Z axis

 

 

[How to place a symbol at a specific height]

Hello,

I'm creating a scrip that calculates and places symbols according to a precise scheme.

The idea is to draw a frame with symbols that already exist.

With the function:

vs.Symbol(symbolName, p, rotationAngle)

I can place the symbol at 0 on the Z axis

I'd like to be able to place or translate the symbol, for example, 2 meters away with the opposite side down.

Any ideas on how to do this?

 

the parametric symbol is on the left what I'd like to achieve is on the right

Thanks in advance

Thank You,

 

Ok now it works fine!! 😝 😘

 

I found that the code with "GetName(worksheetName)" generates a problem.

Simplifying the code without using this action works...

No idea why, if anyone knows?

[Create and rewrite a Worksheet]

Hello everyone,

 

I have a code with the possibility of creating a worksheet.

It works great! but...
Each time the code is executed, it generates a new table.

Would it be possible to make a code that rewrites the existing table?

I use the following code to create the worksheet:

 

WSH = vs.CreateWS(vs.Concat(S1,' ',vs.Date(2,0)),N1+3,3)

[Create text with an different color]

Hi Pat,

Thank you for your answer

it's always a pleasure to see that there are people interested to help find solutions.

I tried to make the code with the second option "Push and Pop"

But the result is not what I expected.

Once the reading passed through these lines the color changes for all the rest of the code

The beginning is in blue then it is black whereas I would like red

See printscreen

 

Thanks in advance

p = (FX2 + 1000, FY2-SpaceLine)
vs.MoveTo(p)
txt = vs.Concat('Panneau n°', str(NP), ': ', vs.Num2Str(0,(CurrentX+W1)-CurrentX),'x', vs.Num2Str(0,min(CurrentY + H1, FY2)-CurrentY),'mm')
vs.PushAttrs

[Problem rotation parametric symbol]

Hi veryone,

 

I tested and here is a video where the symbol disappears (1:26)

https://kdrive.infomaniak.com/app/share/117888/bcaff1b6-45f6-4e0a-8865-a7676ce7085f
In this case it's not so bad because by editing the Marionette network the symbol is recomposed.

This is still problematic because in the office where I work my colleagues are not as interested as I am.

They will probably tell me that it's bad and that it doesn't work.

 

@DomC

I just installed SP3 this morning

I will do a small study to know more precisely when these parametric symbols disintegrate.
Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate very much to exchange on these subjects
greetings
