      Not sure how useful this is... I was thinking it might be good for photo-rendering. Maybe I'll try to post a render.

      Anyhow, it is a Dynamic Component where you can set the number of tiles horizontally and the number of rows vertically. It doesn't scale to fit or anything fancy.

              Thanks Chris. There's a lot more that could be done... and always different and better ways of doing things. I was thinking an "old-style" tool would be better fro this type of work; for example, selecting a rectangle and then calculating and drawing in the shingles.

              The DC will need a top row and scaling ability to make it really useful.

                Great Dc Jim, could use it for roof tiles too..

                That was my immediate thought as well when I saw the random tiles.
