2nd row
Hi mate!
The script is really great!!! Thx
Could you please add options for 2nd row (to make like running bond type brick/tiles) - then it would be absolutely perfect.
Regards!
Thanks
Thanks to all for great comments and suggestions...
New version coming soon.

Shift Line Improvement please
nice script, but a a line shifting option would be appreciated in the custom object parameters. It would be useful to set some shifted lines of roof tiles. (flat custom tiles)
Perfect. Thank-you very
Perfect.
Thank-you very much!
Cheers.

While piking third point hold
While piking third point hold Alt + 3D snap.
Hold Shift if you want tilt angle to be zero.

Excellent script. I can't
Excellent script.
I can't make the tiles automatically align to a roof. I've tried various snap combinations but they always be created flat.
How, in your video, are you doing that? What kind of snaps to you have turned on? It looks like vertex, but i cant see whether 2, 2.5 or 3D. I've tried them all anyway to be honest and none work.
Cheers.

Thank you very usefull
Thank you very usefull script!!!
I have one suggestion:
-Add option to specify size of elements (box, roftiles, paving tiles, etc) as well offset between them please? for example: make a glass wall and specify 1.20 x 2.40 x .01 mts elements, with a separation .01 m each.
Very useful and simple for
Very useful and simple for use script.
Thanks !
To ivobakker: I don't work
To ivobakker:
I don't work with Maya, may be someone can write something similar it's simply coping an object multiple times.
To wicq08:
Hi, script get slower when you increase the count of tiled elements.
Here how to increase the speed when you create or tweak your ATiles:
-Try working with "Plane" until you are ready and then switch to object you want to use.
-Use your object but set "CountX" to 3 or 4 and when ready set it back to zero.
-Use your object but in "Advanced Parameters" set "Scale Offset" to 10 or 20 and when ready set it back to 1.0
