Marionette to Tool Giving me error.

[Nora]

Hiya, I have made a callout tool using the marionette feature in Vectorworks, and running that as a wrapped network does what I want it to, as well as converting it to a node object.

But when I convert it to python script, and then copy and paste it as the script for a PIO, it gives me an error when I try to place it on the design layer.

I don't know anything about python or vectorscript, and I've just taught myself the marionette in the last day or two, so I'm very fresh and looking for help.

I have attached the python script and the marionette.

 

Anyway thanks for reading I'm happy to hear any help.

 

Cheers,
Nora

It sounds like converting Marionette generated to a PIO is not a well supported route.  Take a look at these threads.

Based on a quick read through some of the threads I posted, it sounds like your script may be too long for the PIO Editor.

 

Try saving it as a simple .py text file and including that file rather than pasting the entire script into the editor.

Hey Pat,

 

I couldn't really get the marionette to work for me, other than converting to object node and saving as a symbol, but that didn't feel like a great solution to me and I couldn't get as far as I wanted to anyway.

 

But hey, it lead me to learning to code for the first time and I've almost recreated it in vectorscript!

 

Cheers,
Nora
