Mi&D Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Hi I am a Vectorworks-User from Switzerland... trying to create a tool for different rectangles, whose two side lengths can be changed as desired, but with equal surfaces. This should be very practical when designing floor plans (implementation of space programs). In a second step I would like to make this concept also possible for Spaces. As far as I know such a tool doesn't exist in VW at the moment. I have started studying marionette, but my skills are not strong enough to get there. Could you help me with this? I attach my actual network, which is based on the Golden Ratio tutorial from Service Select. Thanks in advance!

Gregi Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Hi Mi&D I am a cabinet maker, also from switzerland. Is this what you would like to have? Marionette-part2-start Rechtecktool_gim.vwx Quote Link to comment
Mi&D Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Hi Gregi What a coincidence! Thanks for this. It's bringing me one step beyond, but something is missing: All rectangles should have the same surface, only the edges can change. In your output, all rectangles have different surfaces... I've tried this, see attachment. How can I make the whole range of rectangles show up, like in your example...? We might need to combine your and my network to get to the point...

Mi&D Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 hello M.Graf Thanks for your input. The result is exactly what I meant. What's new for me in your network is: "Sequence..." You've substituted my Input node "y" (real) with Data flow "Sequence". I don't understand the logic of the "Sequence". Could you please explain it to me? Furthermore I don't understand the part of the network right from the "rectangle-node". Why do you need the "Get Area-node" and "round". What is Print Debug doing? By the way: Thanks for any further explanation. Mi&D Quote Link to comment

I was thinking, that it could be nice to apply this method from 2D-rectangles to Vectorworks-Spaces. What do you think about it? 1 Quote Link to comment
m.graf Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hello Mi&D, at least one answer here: the print debug node shows (print) the result of the Marionette network. If you remove the round node, you will see the reason... 🙂 greatings M.Graf Quote Link to comment
m.graf Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) with DomC "spacesfrom List" and my "Objektnode" i get "Room's with fixed Area"... greatings M. Graf Edited August 6, 2020 by m.graf Quote Link to comment
Mi&D Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 thanks for that, m graf. unfortunately, I don't understand how to bring together the marionette "Spaces from list" of DomC and your "Object node". Could you please get more into detail? Quote Link to comment
