![]() It’s as easy as defining your criteria with a default library of easy-to-understand nodes, or creating your own custom nodes.Īs you continue using Vectorworks, you may find that the default library can only get you so far. Unlike traditional text-based scripting, Marionette is a graphical scripting tool, meaning you don’t need to know a scripting language to use it.Īlgorithmic modeling is a great way to expedite a workflow. Just like Grasshopper or Dynamo, Marionette is a way to bring greater automation and customization to its parent software. The difference here is that creating an algorithm in a program like Marionette is best used when trying to automate an otherwise tedious 3D modeling process. ![]() ![]() It takes the ingredients (the inputs), mixes them together based on the instructions (the manipulation), and gives us a yummy treat (the outputs)! So, in a way, algorithmic modeling is like building a program recipe.Ī Marionette script that creates a path-based ramp. Instead, think of algorithmic modeling like a recipe where the algorithm is the recipe itself. If that made your head spin a little, that’s OK! This algorithm is then automated to produce swift results for repetitive processes. Okay, so-what exactly is algorithmic modeling?īy strict definition, algorithmic modeling is repetitive modeling done by creating a set of carefully defined instructions that involve taking a set of inputs, manipulating them, and creating a specific set of outputs. Within the CAD and BIM industries, most AAD tools are tailored to perform algorithmic modeling to serve design processes. ![]() But what exactly is Marionette, what is an Algorithms-Aided Design (AAD) tool, and why is a Vectorworks feature exciting enough to get its own blog series? What Is Algorithms-Aided Design?ĪAD is the use of specific algorithms-editors to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. If you’re familiar with our Marionette Monday series, you’ve likely seen many posts on all of the fabulous designs Marionette has been a part of producing as well as various tips for using the program. ![]()
