Hi!

How can I create a floor with square tiles placed like the "1/2 Running Bond" 3dsmax Tile Map?

The odd rows along Y direction (in a Array 2S generator) are offset on the right the distance like half tile width.

Thank you.

xpp_nd_ruphus:
you should watch parquet floor tutorial, it explains principles how to make your pattern

JTP Vis:
I agree with xpp_nd_ruphus, but here is a little something I threw together.

Take a look at the file I've attached.

I've used a sequence operator, with a translate operator on the second slot to make the second row offset. The translate uses padding to create the offset.

I hope that is useful.

UP1808:
Thank you guys.

I thought I can solve this little situation alone, but I really don't know how to do, so I'd like to show to you the whole "problem", if you can just let me know if RailClone can help in this situation or not.

Final task is to create a quad geometry with grid oh holes

Manual Method for understand (no RailClone)

Step1

A simple planar geometry with some subdivision

Step2

Convert in EditPoly and select the polygon I want to Scale and Delete

Step3
www.ossosso.com/scambio/shoot003.jpg
The selected polygons have been scale proportionally and deleted. Between each square in both vertical and orizontal the distance is the same

Step4:

Apply a TurboSmooth modifier

That's what I should obtein.
The problem in this case is that for my model the distance between each square horizontally (X way) is higher then vertically (Y way)

and turbosmooth:

I'm made a little mistake, the pair row (the 2nd, the 4th) have always -1 hole:

Anyway the total grid is larger, n. 27 holes for the X (26 in the 2d, 4th, 6th, etc.) and n. 38 along the Y.

To do it manually like I did for this example si quite time consuming (even if it's more time consuming to find a way with RailClone 'cause I'm not a pro user :) ), but aboveall the reason I'd like to use RailClone is because at the end I want the possibility to change a bit the "radius"/scale of the holes and the distance to better make the 3d model similar tot he real one (I've no technical draw).

That's all.

Do you think RailClone could help in some way?
No wait... I'm pretty sure it can, 'cause there is a logic method behind the resul... so the real question is.. do you think do you have time to help me to build a RailClone structure? :)

Thanks anyway!

Rokas:
I have made similar style while learning the software:



I basically used this method:
