Using Components to Design Pattens

[Paul Russam]

Hi all,
Last year I came up with what I thought was a clever way to use components to design a floor and I thought I'd share it as I think there are multiple applications for the method.

Attached you'll find 2 SketchUp models.

Look at PattenTester-Demo.skp first as it contains a simple example/tutorial to explain the methodology.

Then look at PattenTester-RealWorld.skp to see how I actually used it.

If any of the descriptions in PattenTester-Demo are not clear let me know and I'll have a go at making them better.

Thanks for posting

Could someone let me know if the tutorial is clear, I'm always concerned that things sound ok in my head but are actually jiberish to others

Yes, its quite clear Paul and shows how proper organization in SketchUp can help one's work-flow

Wow! I wish my "real world" had tiles like that. Thanks for sharing this, Paul
