AlanW Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Hi, Been looking for the rect node that uses the centre as origin in the 2017 lib, Could someone point me to where that is? I have dragged the 2016 on in. Thanks Edited October 6, 2016 by Alan Woodwell Quote Link to comment
DomC Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Hi Alan I think, there is nothing like this in the library. You can take this one (hope VW Inc. can fix all the content links anytime). We start posting all the content again: PowerRectangle.vwx 1 Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 @DomC great node. Thanks for sharing. @Alan Woodwellit looks like Marissa's centre point rectangle didn't make it into VW2017. KM Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 @DomC Thanks Dom, This one hasn't altered since the version I have?? #Dominique Corpataux 7-2016 v003 @Kevin McAllisterJust quietly I have this node stored in Sarah's folder, If mistake I should move it as I like to keep all in the Posters folder Quote Link to comment
DomC Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 This is the newest Version. I think, there should be just one Rectangle Node. Which works approximately like a double click on the corresponding Rectangle Tool. That's what would save a lot of Time for Marionette users. But it needs a lot of time, to create matured nodes. Even my node is not "perfect enough". As example if the angle AND orientation input is empty, there will be an error. Also there are math calculations even then if I have default orientation and default insertion point. That will cost (not much, but some) unnecessary calculation time. But what surprice?!: Drawing 1'000'000 with the enhanced Rectangle. Takes 28s Drawing 1'000'000 with the original rectangle from the lib. Takes 31s Anyway, seems to be as fast as the original. I think drawing the rectangle takes the time. Not calculating the insertion points. Also It takes a lot more time, to first draw the rectangle and then move around to the right place (what we normally have to do with the standard node). So I am quite happy with this Version of the node The bigger challenge I think: How to update the libraries in future? Because if there would be an update of the rectangle node with new inputs, the existing networks could get broken. But I think, they are doing it the right way. Quote Link to comment
