      I need a way to make old Western style boardwalks and plank bldg sideing..Something like the joist ruby would be great if the boards were rotated flat..Any help would greatly be apreciated..AND Wasn't there a way to select an area and divided it in to x number of sections?

        Can't you use the joist tool anyway ? First do a bit of preparation - decide the board width, and thickness(=depth) and spacing(=centers) = board + gap, e.g. let's say your plank width is 6" and say its depth is 2", then with a gap=0.5" > centers=6"+0.5"=6.5". Enter these into the joist tool as the three parameters in their order.

        You get your board-walk planking...

          TIG> First..Thanks for taking the time to answer...I tried doing that with both the rafter and joist tools and they semi worked..Only problem is they came out in one big black blob..I tried to expoded them but I could see the individual planks but I couldn't get that solid black item to go away..Still trying..Do you know of a mutireplicate ruby anyplace?

          Thanks again..

              YES, It does..The only thing I can figure was I had figures that were to close thus the solid black..A big thank you to both of you..
