Vectorworks, Inc Employee Mark Mullany Posted October 30, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hello, Just getting started with this Marionette - no previous programming experience at all. I've been figuring it out from the stuff others have done on this forum. Just to see if I could I've started little house based on a polyline. Would love to hear peoples thoughts or comments on setting up the scripting for this. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Mark Mullany Posted October 30, 2015 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 30, 2015 First Questions to the forum - 1. Is it possible to make a network that for instance If I input a value of 3 would then let me create 3 new layers with names from a preset list? And something similar for a number of windows in a wall. Cant quite find a node for it. 2. Cant seem to get wall joins to work at all - does it need to know its vector? That would make it a little difficult to change the starting geometry. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee SBarrettWalker Posted October 30, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hi Mark - Here is a network for adding multiple layers - to take specific items from a list, use the Get Item node from the Data Flow category. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Mark Mullany Posted November 2, 2015 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 2, 2015 Thats great! thanks - I think I understand the list part - what do the series and string nodes do? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee SBarrettWalker Posted November 2, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 2, 2015 The string nodes are where you input the different layer names you want to use. If you look at the OIP for the Layer List wrapper, you can see where to change the layer names. The series node creates a list of numbers based on the number of layer names you input. If you want 4 layer names, the series node will create a list of the first 4 index numbers that will call the first for layer names from your list: 0,1,2,3. If you wanted to pull specific names instead, you would skip the series node and just input the index numbers you wanted to call. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Mark Mullany Posted November 3, 2015 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 3, 2015 Ah! thanks for the clarification Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 All this is pretty impressive. Where did you get the "add symbol to wall", cant seem to find it in the list? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Mark Mullany Posted November 5, 2015 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 5, 2015 In the BIM nodes its the first one under walls. Quote Link to comment

rDesign Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 @Alan - Like you, I don't currently have a BIM nodes folder either. It looks likes the new BIM nodes will be included with SP2, which isn't out yet. BIM Nodes Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi, BIM Nodes??? Don't have it in mine. ???? Others might have already figured it out, but I just realized that the BIM Nodes folder (which will be in SP2) is already available for download at the following post: BIM Nodes Quote Link to comment
