      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.

            Yes, yet another update incorperating two suggested inhancements.

                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.

                                You're right ... that makes perfect sense tomot ... my bad.

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

                                      I would be interested. That would top off the plugin. This will be a big time saver.

                                            Two little things after a very quick test:
                                            -the faces of the tiles pointing inside the room are back-faces. This could be a problem if you want to do a render;
                                            -would be possible that the tiles were components? I mean in that way you could easily change the texture for example and the model would be lighter.
