AlanW Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Hi, anyone know how to join walls?? See attached file no join walls. Edited December 1, 2015 by Alan Woodwell Quote Link to comment
Marionette Maven Marissa Farrell Posted December 1, 2015 Marionette Maven Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hi Alan, I've edited the code in the "Wall" node in this case to join the walls for you. I am *currently* lacking the joining of the first and last walls joined, but I will hopefully get that fixed up soon. I will also work on creating a node that will be separate for wall joining purposes. Hope this helps! - Marissa JoinWallsMarionette_2.vwx Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) For me that's amazing:) I guess that's a lot of programming knowledge going into that. Do I dare start learning or is too late at my age. Thanks again for your assistance, makes my day. Better add your name in the Description to give you credit.

Marionette Maven Marissa Farrell Posted December 2, 2015 Marionette Maven Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) It's never too late to start learning! I'm a huge fan of those who never lose the desire to pursue new, challenging activities. As for Marionette, all it takes is some exploration and patience (and the willingness to ask for help/direction). Edited December 2, 2015 by MarissaF 1 Quote Link to comment
Oachl Kini Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Trying to build a simple house from scratch as a training exercise, but I ran into the same problem. Is there a joinWalls Node somewhere or should I program my own? Also, I watched the video for Marionette changes in VW2017, and it said there is more Info coming up for the changes in changing Nodes, especially the READONLYREFFILE. Is it already anywhere around and am I just missing it? Quote Link to comment
Marionette Maven Marissa Farrell Posted November 17, 2016 Marionette Maven Share Posted November 17, 2016 Currently there is no Join Walls node in default content, but I'll try to dig the file up that has the one I made a while back. As for the READONLYREFFILE, I haven't posted anything on that yet. It's completely safe to remove that entire line when you change a node, though, so until I get some proper documentation going, feel free to do that! EDIT: I attached the file "JoinWallsMarionette_2" to it's original post above. That includes the modification to the wall node I mentioned. Quote Link to comment
Oachl Kini Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks again, Marissa! Looks quite tricky. I think I'll try myself creating a join walls node next, but only for two walls at first. Will let you know how it went :-) Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Hi I don't seem to see one in my library's that was created to finally close the walls. the first and last seems not to close but I will continue to look. Here is a file that I used to build a house with most of the components that may assist is seeing how I went about the process. Creates the house from a simple Polygon. Some of the explanations for parts of this are on my YouTube channel. "Alanwoodwell" Nice to see how other would do this as there is always so much to learn.

Oachl Kini Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hi Alan! Thanks for looking and you enthusiasm. I think Marissa already sent me4 the node you're looking for. I already had a look at your channel and especially at this video. It is one of the reasons I think creating a house automatically is something that I should look into. Having your example file and seeing the way you engaged the problem is a huge help, thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hi, All these things look daunting at first but its a matter of breaking them down into small blocks. This house and the office building from a poly polyline was the culmination of many little steps which was enjoyable and I did not know where it would take me, but its the journey that's fun so enjoy the challenge of Marionette and see where it takes you.
