Components onto face by Chris Fullmer for plane surfaces ?

Shape Bender for round Surfaces by Chris Fullmer again?

IMO vanilla SU can do that pretty well. line, offset and pushpull.

JPP, TOS and Zorro for rounded bits.

Thanks for the reply.

However what is vanilla SU? Im a little lost here $:\$

JPP, TOS and Zorro are they plug ins?

thanks again

Vanilla - Standard SU tools.

JPP - Joint push pull

TOS - Tools on surface

Zorro - Zorro/ cutting

thanks - now im with you.... it does do a great job of it, its just time consuming.... it would be great if it could subdivide a big plane into tiles and extrude them a little like tiles....

Thanks anyways guys... appreciated...

Try Protrude plugin.

Slicer or Lattice Maker by TIG is for you

Another alternative, using "vanilla SU", is to make a few components - one for each size of panel.
Very fast, easy and flexible.

Time is swift!

Oh yeah and it's only for non surfaces..

This was a request for a plugin to automatically divide up a solid into individual solids.

no, not really.. as seen in the above responses, you're going to have to do it manually or use some plugins that might get you half way there
You could approach this a thousand different ways.. bjornkn's suggestion of components is a good one depending on the complexity and/or number of unique sized/shaped panels..

my approach (at the moment ) would be something like this:
(using solids)
