Wooden Parquet pattern

[ProdigalS0n]

Hi All

I am attempting to replicate a small area of parquet flooring in oak (see image below) how best would I model this in inventor? Would I be best to create the individual Parallelogram part and hexagon part and then constrain them together in an assembly?

The reason i ask is that I can see this being a lot of work in constraining the parts together. does anyone have any tips or insight into how best to do this?

Hope I have made sense.

Here is an idea - create a box and apply a cosmetic texture just like you have shown.

If you wanted, for some reason, to take it a step further, you could Split the faces and apply textures

or

a step beyond that Split the box into parts in a multi-body part and then push out the assembly (Make Components).

I am pretty sure I would not model individual parts and then try to constrain them in an assembly.

HI JD

Will have a look at that and see how it goes.

Thanks

If the texture image is not sufficient then yes a hex/parallelogram are all thats needed.. (3 par and 1 hex then pattern) Should take no more than a minute to create a whole floor

Now that I step back for a minute - yeah, an assembly pattern would be easy, maybe even the easiest solution.
