Create a parquet floor

Hi,

Thanks for great tips for parametric herringbone.
I was banging my head against a wall till I found this info.

A quick question if anybody actually looking at this old thread though.

Are there anyway I can go completely RC solution without having original box for the plank?
I plugged numeric input to the box segments X fixed size and y fixed size and named length and width, but when I input values other than the original size of the plank geometry, the RC style breaks.
It is not a big deal as I can always extract the segments after importing the style from the library, but it would be nice if I did not have to.

What is the difference between modifying the original geometry and setting values with numeric input?

Kind regards

Hi!

Thanks for contacting us - we're looking at all the threads :)

The reason adjusting the size in RailClone doesn't work is that the X Size and Scale properties affect segments after they've been rotated, so they deform.

The good new is that in RailClone 3, this behaviour has been changed. The Fixed Size is now applied before the rotate operation and it should all work as you'd expect. Here's a little video of the herringbone style in RailClone 3. I haven't changed the style in any way.



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

Many Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately I cannot see the video. I tried a few computers but the video is not working.
Can you check to see if there is any problems?

Anyway good to hear it has been changed for future version.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Apologies for that. It's possible a browser compatibility issue. Here's the direct link, but it's only a little screen recording of the style in RC3.

All the best,

Hi

Thanks for the video. It was exactly what I wanted.
Is this going to be part of RC3 library? If so, other floor styles would be updated as well?

Kind regards,
