willofmaine Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Is there a node to get the width and height of the profile shape (such as would be used for an extrude-along-path) of a 2D profile Symbol? Nodes like "Get Width" and "Get Bounding Box" don't seem to recognize the shape within the symbol... Quote Link to comment
Marionette Maven Marissa Farrell Posted August 31, 2017 Marionette Maven Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hi! You're going to want to use the "contents" node from the operations category to get the handle to the geometry within the symbol. Place that node after the symbol node and before the get width or get bounding box nodes. I can attach an example when I get into the office, if you need. 1 Quote Link to comment
willofmaine Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Yes please!! I seem to missing a thing or two. Maybe three. See attached... Thanks! 02-Extract Symbol Info.vwx Quote Link to comment
willofmaine Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) I couldn't begin to get the "Contents" node to work, but the "Ungroup" node seemed to do the trick?... (see attached). 03-Extract with Ungroup Node-02.vwx But when I make a wrapper out of the network, it seems to have issues: unless its script is run first, it generates an error message (see Files 06 and 09). And when I save it as a symbol in a library file accessible via the Marionette tool, it has different issues depending on the scale of the drawing that it's imported into (see Files 10 through 13). What am I missing?? Thanks! 06-Pass Input-Generates Errors-03.vwx 09-Wrapper_Error-06.mov 10-Import Wrapper to 1 to 1 Scale.vwx 11-1_to_1_Scale-10.mov 12-Import Wrapper to 1 to 48 Scale.vwx 13-1_to_48_Scale-12.mov Edited September 5, 2017 by willofmaine Quote Link to comment
