Panelling plug in?

solo

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

JPP, TOS and Zorro for rounded bits.

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...

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!

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

Hi

Is there a plug in that could help me with alucobond style panelling? Soemthing that can also do tiles?

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)
