convert to polygon doesn't work in marionette object

[Benny Keyaerts 0]

Hello,

 

I have a problem with the node 'convert to polygon'

I' m using this node in a network and it works just fine but when I make a marionette object from my network the node doesn't work anymore.

I've uploaded a little example with only the objects you need to see the problem.

Is there a way to work around this problem?

Hi @Benny Keyaerts

 

Try throwing in a 'delete' node after the rectangle. It looks like both the rectangle and polygon are being kept instead of just the polygon.

I'm not quite sure why this is, but it's a start!

Hi Marissa,

 

I tried this but it didn't work. I've added the complete network so you get a better Idea of where I'm going. I left the different steps to make the network in the file.

 

I'm sorry everything is in dutch, if you need me to i'll translate in bad english

Hi Marissa,

 

I've changed the 'convert to polygon' node into a 'convert to polyline' node. This works perfectly so I think something is wrong with the 'convert to polygon' node. But for the moment being I can continue my work.

I found the problem, and it is within the Convert to Polygon node.

For some reason, we're setting the planar reference again and then trying to move it, which I believe in most cases is unnecessary, though I'm sure it was included for a reason, it just seems to not work when in a Marionette Object's coordinate space. (Likely because in a Marionette Object, planar objects default to screen plane, and we try to move it's location in the Z direction which does not exist in screen plane, whereas when you run a Marionette Network on your drawing area, all objects are drawn to the layer plane.)

 

I'll see if I can insert some logic in there to remedy this.

 

Thanks for pointing it out!
