I'm struggling with a very basic problem. It's a bit embarrassing…
All I would like to do is a simple metal border around a flat roof.
The long metal strip always starts at the corner. But it should start after the corner piece.
When I use the "Evenly" distribution all metal strips look really messed up and wrong.
I also can't get the inner corner working.
Already tried to take a look at the guttering Style but it's so cluttered and complex that I gave up.
Attached a sample .max file with the basic Style.

Hi
I exposed some parameters. I reset to 0 your initial Random Transforms on Default Segment but You can re-enter on Transform Node.
Please let me know if this works for you.
Best Regards.

Thanks a lot. Awesome solution! I try to understand what you did there. :)
What is the "null" segment for?
Seems I have a lot to learn about the transforms.

The null is to make a gap. It is basically an empty segment placed on the Evenly position to make a gap on the even distance (Size is controlled by Fixed X size parameter).
Compose create Sequence like Gap+Segment+Gap to make a gap between Corner and Defaults.
Basically, it is always better to leave Segment without random/size transforms and to add a Transform node. That way you can use the same segment for different Generator inputs.
