Hello,
I'm trying to use Random operator (By Segment) to create random length of a tile (Y Size) and complete the rest of the width with another tile. The first segment Y Size is calculated by a Random operator and the Second Tile length is Simply (Y Size - Segment Y Size) but I get a weird look from the rail clone. I spent ours trying to solve the problem by use a 2nd spline generator, sequence on Y, Top Side, Bottom side but with no luck.
I think there is a problem or I misused the Random operator. Any Suggestion ?

Hi!
Thanks for contacting us. I've attached a sample file that I hope helps to answer your question. It produces results similar to this:

To achieve that I've used the following technique
- A clipping spline is used to set the size of the area, though you could also have used X/Y splines or dimensions if you prefer. With a clipping spline if you want the rows to be vertical you can simply enter a value of 90 degrees for the Clipping Area > Z Rotation property.
- The blue segment is added to the generator's Left input via a transform operator that randomises the size.
- The remaining box is wired to the Default input.
- The generator's Rules > Default Segment mode is set to Scale. This will ensure that the segment wired to the default segment fills the remaining space.

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