I would like to have the option to create a cubic pattern just as there is one for a rectangular pattern.
Say you want to populate the inside of a box with an array of items using patterns. You would have to first use a rectangular pattern and then a another one in the remaining direction. This can become complicated if you already have a lot of on-screen items or a very large browser since you would have to carefully select every item. What if your first pattern has a hundred items?
This could all be done in a single step with a cubic pattern.
