      Why did you choose the negative and positive point of view is not correct, the grid can have a smaller selection.

        Yes, that does solve the problem sdmitch. I was clicking on a face looking down at it ... more of a 'roof' perspective than looking up at the 'ceiling'.

        Is it possible to have the grid generated to be centered on the face in both directions, rather than have it start in one corner?

          juanjin, I didn't really choose the negative view. As you know when you draw a shape on the xy plane, its' face down and so that how the plugin was created and tested.

          SUFractal, I chose starting in a corner to limit the number of partial tiles but there is no reason that the origin counldn't be in the center of the face.

          Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

              Excellent sdmitch!

              As you probably know, that is how grids are generally laid out (design and construction). 😄

                Hallo sdmitch
                Freedom to change the size is too important!
                But still quite useful

                  Hi.
                  Guanjin is suggesting what sounds like a Dynamic Component? Adjust the component with change in room size and the tool inserts additional tees as required, as well as stretches tees and angles. Seems pretty involved, but maybe not.

                  I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                    If you have other standard sizes you would like to use, simply add them to the code. If you don't feel capable of doing that, tell me what you would like to have as size options.

                        Thank You Sam. Great plugin

                          Thanks for the very useful plugin Sam. 👍
                          It would be even more useful if you could select an edge as orientation of the grid and maybe if you could have the possibility to choose the corner wich you want the grid to start from. Now it produces incorrect results with not conventional shapes.

                                    tomot, since you appear to be savvy creating plugins, I'm guessing you might be able to add in the ceiling tiles as a component? 😄

                                        With all due respect, I think sdmitch should do this, after all its his code, and he is much more Ruby skilled than I am.

                                            Other than tomot, anyone else interested in having the option to add the ceiling tiles?
