I'm almost there but the last part is frustratingme.[/size][/font][/p][p=30, 2, left][font=Arial, sans-serif][size=2]I want a 24" long x6" wide plank tile. The tiles should be offset from each other8" (a 2/3 1/3 pattern lengthwise). My problem is I only can get a6" offset (3/4 1/4 pattern).[/size][/font][/p][p=30, 2, left][font=Arial, sans-serif][size=2]Here's the code I've got:[/size][/font][/p][p=30, 2, left][font=Arial, sans-serif][size=2]0, 0,0, 0,6 90, 0,0, 6,6, 6,-18[/size][/font][/p][p=30, 2, left][font=Arial, sans-serif][size=2]I've adjusted every number butcan't get what I need.

Given the 0-degree direction of the unbroken lines, I believe with the 90-degree lines you want a delta-x of 6 for the plank width, and a delta-y of 8 for the offset in the direction of the plank length, and a dash-2 of -12 for the two planks that are at a different offset position in between each plank that's aligned with the current line set. Try this [I haven't tested it]: 0, 0,0, 0,6 90, 0,0, 6,8, 6,-12 Make that 8 a -8 instead, if you want them offset in the other direction. robhowell 2012-07-20 14:33:04
