Hi,

Thanks for contacting us. You might find this tutorial on creating Parquet flooring helpful, it features a Herringbone style and the same techniques should be able to be used, even if the sizes of the source segments are diffferent.

There's also a more recent version of this style in this post: http://forum.itoosoft.com/index.php?topic=2059.msg10504#msg10504

It calculates the correct offsets and padding automatically based on the size of the board.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any further questions.

Many Thanks,

Paul

ha, I'm working on a herringbone path. I had used a similar geometry as to what you've got, but without that blue piece. Then I offset the tiling of the bricks until they lined up, and then rotated 45 degrees. It looks like in the iToo tut they already have the bricks modeled at the correct angle. I see that they assembled 2 pieces to be oriented into each other - but then separated them for reassembly in railclone. That's the step I missed!
