    Hi everyone,

    I'm using Sketchup for my CNC hobby and have to mill 2D wall segments.
    The problem is the brick patterns need to be vectors and not textures since they need to be milled as well.
    So drawing brick by brick is a very slow and time consuming process.
    Is there a way to make this process more easy, some rubyscript maybe?
    maybe there a script that can do the same as housebuilder, but instead of wooden beams uses bricks?

    hope someone can help me?
    Many thx!
    David.

        Hi Lucifer,

        Thanks for the quick reply ... i found the plug-in you where referring to: Greeble 2 is the latest version.
        I have a look in to it.
        In the meantime is there anyone that can confirm that Greeble 2 is the tool I'm looking for?
        Thx,
        David

          You could also try building a dynamic component. Take a look at the Sketchup 7 example of a picket fence component. As you scale the component the pickets are automatically copied and spaced.

          To do this with bricks, you would need to build two sub-components: one row with a full brick in the corner and one row with a half brick, so the two rows would be offset. This component could also be used to lay down flooring or drywall.
