Jonathan Pickup Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I have been playing with Marionette. It is very fast to make objects. Here is a simple 3-Drawer cabinet that I made to try it out. My only challange was the mathematics for the two bottom drawers, but that is my fault, not Marionette. This cabinet allws you to control the top draw height, the carcase thickness, the drawer from thickness, and all other typical settings. It will only make a 3 Drawer Cabinet at this stage.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted November 2, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 2, 2015 Very nice! Slightly modified one attached that will allow you to select the desired textures for various components from a pulldown menu. Couldn't resist playing with it, been working a bit more with Marionette in between other projects.

This bug has already been caught and will be corrected in an upcoming patch.) Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Thanks for adding that Jim. I was wondering if I should add hte ability to choose 2 or 3 drawers, but then the maths and the logic started to get away form me. Quote Link to comment
twk Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Nice marionette example Jonathan. I've made an addition as well, placing the 3D objs into an AutoHybrid node I made quickly. I havent tested in extensivley on other objects so everyone make sure your auto-saves are on! Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 I thought it would be fun to add between 2 and 5 drawers. I was thinking of an IF statement, but im not sure what is the best way. Where did you find the AutoHybrid? Quote Link to comment
twk Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Hi Jonathan, That was a custom Node I made. Testing my novice python scripting. Expert coders please amend as you see fit. --Edit-- Apologies, just clarifying, the node is custom made, the scripting internally is actually the result of exploring how to implement using the AutoHybrid feature into our in office plugins. I found out that the AutoHybrid object is actually a Custom Object. Thats what the internal script of this AutoHybrid Node manipulates. Hope that makes sense.

Jonathan Pickup Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Thank you to Jim and Tui, i have used Tui's AutoHybrid node and Jim's texture re-arrangement to update my cabinet. I have now made a 3 Drawer cabinet, 4 Drawer Cabinet, 2 Door Cabinet, and a single door cabinet. Edited November 18, 2015 by Jonathan Pickup Quote Link to comment
