Network gives conflicting results

[AlanW]

Hi, in the simple network i am wanting to extrude 3 frames using 2D polys and subtracting then extruding, I end up with an extrude as desired. (don't want to end up with a generic solid which is the result of a solid subtraction.) All works well until I wrap it, both objects show. Any ideas?? Thnaks

Hi Alan,

 

Looks like there may be something missing in the code for objects when it comes to deleting things. I haven't seen this in a while, but I'll try to take a better look.

Hi Alan

 

I also saw that in other PIO Scripts. The Planar Boolean returns the "tool"- object to the Extrude Node. vs.Marionette_DisposeObj(tool) deletes that object at the very end of procedure. And then it's too late, because it was "eated" by the extrude node?

 

Could be "hacked somehow like this":

                elif self.Params.op.value == 1:                    
                    newObj = vs.ClipSurfaceN(blank, tool) # blank and tool won't be deleted after this operation
                    if newObj != vs.Handle(0) and newObj != None and newObj != tool:
                        blank = newObj
                        vs.DelObject(tool)

Or with a Marionette Node:

@DomCThanks that worked a treat. Nice to see it wasn't "eaten" by the extrude node anymore.

Ok that solved I have another issue. TexPartID Boolean 1 No repeat and 0 Repeat. So repeat works but no repeat = zero image. What am i doing wrong?? Thanks

This came about from a question about how to wrap an image around a wall panel and i thought it could be automated with Marionette. The result so far. The network creates a wall panel of desired size and attaches a chosen image. The image size needs to match the wall size so there is no guessing. See it this helps speed up you work flow. Watch the video because you will find the images keep changing as its an issue that needs to be resolved. To lock the images in by hitting  Ctl K on the Marionette object and it becomes a group and wont change. Keep a copy of the object and reuse it to create more. Always keep the original

Hi, If you are new to Marionette and interested in learning a bit about it the attached file is part of a how to make the panels and attaching the image.
