Irregular stone flooring
« on: June 18, 2023, 05:11:29 PM »
Hello all!

I am wondering if is it possible to create something like this with RailClone.

I am pretty confused about how could I proceed to avoid gaps between the pieces.

Thank you  :)

Hi Ignacio,

Well, as mentioned in the following "how to make parametric gabion wall?" tightly related post: "RailClone uses grid-like arrays so it's difficult to create a completely randomized and chaotic pattern. The usual solution is to create the illusion of randomized items by "pre-composing" them into segments of interlocking geometry.".

The key to building such a style would be to find a repeatable pattern. You might find inspiration for example in this "Paving pattern" related post (there are more on our forum using similar techniques). You can find handy the Pattern macro (Pattern.rcm) attached to this thread.

I hope that helps.

Best regards,
