distance between wood strips

[enzo_87]

Good evening,
I'm trying to create for the first time an herringbone floor.
following the video on the website, I create my wood strip, 27x8, my clipping area, connected everything and it works.
I add the herringbone macro and works, but when I try to add some space between the wood strips the floor disappear.

to do it I'm doing:
-selecting the segment
-fix size, untic the scale paramenter
-putting a bigger dimension, like 27.2 x 8.2

without the macro node it works, but with it it's not working.

Am I doing something wrong? is there another way to do so?

thanks in advance,
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo

I have attached modified macro to include a gap setting. It needs some manipulations. It is not enough to edit segments size.

I have also included a advanced herringbone macro that was used in this tutorial. Feel free to use it as well.

Would it be possible to access to modified macro ? I can't open the attached.
Thanks a lot

Of course, please find attached the used macros (SegmentToHerringbone.rcm & AdvHerringbone.rcm) and the sample scene (HerringboneSampleScene_iToo.max) saved in the 3ds Max 2021 format. I hope that helps.

Thank you !
IMHO These macros should be in the default library
