​
​+PAT

​
​add pattern to area
​​Add a paving pattern to an area
​​INPUTS
  • ​​<A>​ : Area to add paving to. Paving will replace existing paving.

  • ​​width​ : Dimension of second or secondary side
  • ​​steps​ : Number of steps if required (like in Running Bond or Herringbone)
  • ​​seam​ : Size of seam in inches. Larger seam will not cut into paver dimensions.
  • ​​rotation​ : Number of degrees rotate the pattern
​​OUTPUTS
  • ​​<A>​ : Area with pavers added (replaced)
  • ​​pavers​ : paver shapes
​​

​
​+TEXTURE

​
​add paver texture
​​Adds a randomly scaled texture to paver meshes within given scale range. Best with square images.
​​INPUTS
  • ​​paver meshes​ : meshes describing pavers
  • ​​min scale​ : minimum random scaling
  • ​​max scale​ : maximum random scaling
​​OUTPUTS
  • ​​textured pavers​ : pavers with randomly scaled and rotated texturing.
​​

​
​+TESS

​
​add tessellation pattern
​​Creates a preview of a tessellation and adds it to an area
​​INPUTS
  • ​​<A>​ : area to add the tessellation pattern to
  • ​​POB​ : point of beginning for laying out the tessellation in the area
  • ​​tess_geo​ : curves describing the tessellation module
  • ​​origin​ : start point of the tessellation local to the input module
  • ​​u_point​ : point that describes a step in the first direction of the pattern - generally orient with x axis
  • ​​v_point​ : point that describes a step in the second direction of the pattern- generally orient with y axis
  • ​​rotation​ : Number of degrees to rotate the pattern around the POB
​​OUTPUTS
  • ​​<A>​ : area with tessellation added
  • ​​pavers​ : paver outlines if you need already
  • ​​tess_preview​ : A preview to show how the tessellation is working.
​​

​
​MODULES

​
​array modules
​​Arrays modules as new areas into the units from another area
​​INPUTS
  • ​​<A>​ : area with a pattern to array modules - be sure pavers are untrimmed
  • ​​module_curves​ : curve outlines describing the units within the module
  • ​​module_area​ : trimmed surface describing the shape of the module. Best to start with a rectangular surface.
  • ​​trim​ : Whether to trim the pavers and module areas to the original area
​​OUTPUTS
  • ​​modules-<A>​ : arrayed modules as areas
​​

​
