techecc Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I'm attempting to make a simple tool that has a few text user input text fields as well as an object that gets its color fill from a drop down menu. All these fields should also link to a custom record so that the information can be put into a report. I have most of this working in a very thrown together manner in the attached file, however there are a few specific things I'm most curious about. 1) How do I structure this so that when I eventually get this to work as a tool the created object is placed at next mouse click? Currently when wrapped object is created at 0,0 2) Why when converted to a Marionette Object does the attached record break? 3) Why is the file size so huge for so little information? Thanks!

techecc Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 @M.Graf TH-OWL Thanks! That works much closer to how I intended. Much appreciated. I'm just starting to get a better feel for how the marionette system works. Any sense as to why the file size seems so huge? Quote Link to comment
m.graf Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 @techecc i think the file size come from every single Marionette Node, if you want a smaller Marionette Objekt / File size, you have to optimize the Network and wrote it with fewer Node's. 🙂 For Example, this Part (Screenshot) in your Marionette Network can replace with one simple "Python - Node".

Antonio Landsberger Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 @techecc Attached is a version with a simplified version. Now the color dropdown node has two out ports: one with the string, one with the color tuple. Marionette Test Smaller-ALa-20200407.vwx Edit: the file size is a little smaller, but not much.
