Title: Irregular stone flooring
Post by: Ignacio 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? (http://forum.itoosoft.com/index.php?topic=3466.msg13494#msg13494)" 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 (https://forum.itoosoft.com/railclone-pro-(*)/paving-pattern/msg7848/#msg7848)" related post (there are more on our forum using similar techniques). You can find handy the Pattern macro (Pattern.rcm) attached to this thread (https://forum.itoosoft.com/railclone-pro-(*)/pattern/).

I hope that helps.

Best regards,
