      As you say you can iterate and make the copies in the X and then make the copies in the Z so what's the issue ?
      You do one then do the other ?
      OR you could do the X and within its 'loop' do the Z copies at the same time in each X step...
      Nesting one formula inside the other.
      This example does 'tiling' in the XY, but its essentially the same thing http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=114548

        Dear TIG,
        Thank you for your replay.
        Yes ,i can make to applay calculated numbers of "frit" in row(X) or in column(Z), but separate.
        Or by X or by Z only,but not in same time.
        Here i am confused,how to integrate in one command.
        I sow even before,the link that you send,but there is just tiles with no space between them.

          Instead of repeating the tiles at their actual 'tilesize' try repeating them at their (tilesize+gap) which would give you the spacing you want ? You could add an extra attribute 'gap' and use this in the formulas...
          For example instead of X=myColumn*floor!tilesize you use X=myColumn*floor!(tilesize+gap)

            "frit" position(x,y,z)are result by calculation depend of glass size,frit size and shadow coeficient.(to place "frit" in "start" position and after to make copy), mean i can't use X or Z as you sugest,(in tile floor,x,y,z are same for floor and tile) or i am confysed?
            Sorry bother you.
