Custom Hatch for 24"x24" (any square) on a 1/3 offset

[tilequotedustin]

Hello,

I am trying to create a hatch for a square tile pattern with a 1/3 offset. I have made a hatch for a rectangle, but if I try to carry it over to a square, it does not work. For example, the 12x24 comes out in a 12x24, 1/3 offset step pattern. The 24x24 comes out in a 1/2 offset brick pattern, and instead of a 24"x24", I get a 24"x32". What am I doing wrong in the hatch for the 24"x24"/square?

Hatch for 12"x24" with 1/3 offset (This one works):

*Tile_12x24, Tile one third overlap
0, 0,0, 0,1
90, 0,0, 1,0.67, 1,-2

Hatch for 24"x24" with 1/3 offset (This one does not work):

*Tile_24x24, Tile one third overlap
0, 0,0, 0,2
90, 0,0, 2,1.33, 2,-2

It looks like those shouldn't be titled with 12x24 or 24x24 pattern names -- the one that works is a 1x2-unit pattern, and you would use 12 for a scale factor to get the size mentioned.  You can use the same pattern for 100x200, or 0.003 x 0.006, or whatever -- any 1-to-2-ratio tile [or brick or plank or...] size.

For the one that doesn't work, try:

*Tile_2x2, Tile one third overlap
0, 0,0, 0,2
90, 0,0, 2,.67, 2,-4

Use that at a scale of 12 to get 24x24 tiles, if you want just a correction of the definition.  Or better yet, define it as a unit-square tile size, and use it at a more logical scale of 24 to get 24x24 tiles:

*Tile_1x1, Tile one third overlap

0, 0,0, 0,1
90, 0,0, 1,.33, 1,-2

EDIT:

Of course, if you need it at a specific size like 24x24 often enough, it can be defined to be that, when used at a scale of 1:

*Tile_24x24, Tile one third overlap

0, 0,0, 0,24
90, 0,0, 24,8, 24,-48
