    I saw it posted on the first page of this plugin, a LAP setting would be AMAZING.

    I'm in Architectural Visualization and material properties don't allow for accurate displacement maps. A plugin like this is tantalizingly close to creating the repeating clap/lap siding which our pro-user group needs. Sketchup has been blessed with rendering engines but this modelling aid is missing!

    The difference between good enough and awesome is huge

      I did try to develop a clapboard option several years ago but never produced a satisfactory one. Perhaps it would be worth another look.

            Your plugin is amazing. Thank You.
            Is there a possibility to make some additional options in octagons pattern? Option to give the size of two tiles: the big one and the smaller one. It would be very helpful.

              Have you looked at the "Hopscotch" patterns?

                A basic "Clapboard" option has been added.

                    "Hopscotch" pattern doesn't fit πŸ˜‰
                    It must be octagonal pattern but with specific dimensions of two tiles: the big one - octagonal and smaller one - square tile.

                      I'm having problems with the plugin in SU 2017. Su 2015 seems to be working fine.

                      Using even stock settings I get a lot of random tiles missing.

                        Once again SU2017 is acting in a different way than previous versions. Maybe there is a solution but I doubt it.

                          (and that divide by 3 number of plugins (if distributed) for a more speed launch) πŸ€“

                            Any other plugin that can generate nice tiles?

                                  You could always do a work-around by saving the SKP in 2016 version, open SU2016, do what you want there with the plugin, save and open in 2017 again. I know, far from ideal.

                                  Who has any experience with Oob Layouts? It also reports only compatible up to 2015, but I have often had where extensions say that and work fine in the later (supposedly incompatible) SU version. Anybody willing to trial it?

                                  Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                                    I have tested FloorGenerator in SU2017 and had no problem with missing tiles.

                                    Could you post your model so I could test it myself?

                                      here, Floor generator on stock settings, two identical planes-second one with tiles applied.
                                      looks like geometry has some random lines and faces, even though I have set no random parameter.

                                        I confirm, this issue is happening with me too,although there are no other plugins are active with it.

                                          I retested FloorGenerator in SU2017 using your model and, in 16 tests, 5 appeared to be normal, 1 had a single tile missing and the other 10 had several missing in random locations.

                                          My initial test seemed ok because I stupidly used the Random Colors option.

                                          I will do what I can to fix this problem.
