Site Model information in Marionette

[Heblon]

Hey there,

 

is it possible to acess Site Model information via Marionette?

 

I hope to script a gradient object for a faster "only"-labeling purpose than the existing gradient tool does.

 

simple as that:

• a line as PIO
• get start and end point
• place locus on site model (z-height)
• simple math
• label gradient with text

 

Cheers.

This post was from over 2 years ago with no answer, and I'm still curious. Any ideas?

There are no existing standard Marionette Nodes I know of, that have site model capabilities. This is most likely because there are no corresponding VectorScript commands for this.

The only area in the developer wiki in which I could find entries to "site model" is VCOM:

https://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php/VCOM:VCOM_(Vectorworks_Component_Object_Model)

This can only be used with SDK though. If that's the case, there are two possiblities:

a) ask VW Inc to make those VCOM functionalities available through VectorScript commands (if that is even possible)

b) get comfortable with SDK

That's too bad. Thanks for the info @Antonio Landsberger
