Create Super Hatch Pattern

dm0144 — Thu, 03 Dec 2020 20:37:53 GMT

Hello everyone

I am trying to create a pattern using already created block but I am having an issue tiling the block properly, thus achieving a cobble stone pattern .

I have an issue that I can not adjust the magenta boundary box rectangle properly. It allows me to adjust the rectangle only if the defined boundary box is bigger than the previous, that is, if the second corner specified is outside of the existing rectangle.

I am attaching a screenshot of the block I am trying to tile and the result in the rectangle, which is not the desired outcome.

Any suggestions how I can achieve the cobble stone pattern using one or several tiles of block?

Try making your Block this much:

EDIT: If you're using it at small-enough scale that you can accept the clunkier approximation of curves and the single-line joints, there's a regular Hatch pattern called FANPAVER.pat, available >here<.

This pattern is formed from individual pavers:

Thank you!

The hatch pattern is almost the same as the block I was trying to draft. I will be using the hatch pattern. If I use the block, I still have to figure how to edit it since, the suggested edit didn't work as uniform hatch.
