Advice on how to build office ceiling with offset lighting

[matthewfloyd]

Hi,

I'm trying to build the ceiling below, it has a sequence of of 2 lines of lights, with every other line down the ceiling, being offset. Ive currently achieved something similar, but offsetting the second sequence by using translation, but it is not giving the nice edges around the spline, as they are always being offset by the amount of specified.

I wouldn't mind some advice on how you would go about building this?

Thanks!
