Hello Phoebe and hello David. I agree 100% with what you said. I use Revit and SU both and with SU it is almost like you don't have to think about how you are going to create something, you just do.
Hello maalox, I hope your stomach is ok 
Welcome to the forum.
The way I use the Acme brick designer is...
I find the brick pattern I want, export the image out as large as possible. I.E. as wide and as high as the program will let you stack the bricks.
I then open the image in Photoshop. Any image editing program will work however.
Then I crop the image so it will tile properly.
Then... I reduce the pixel size so the texture is not going to bog down SU when imported.
I hope this helps.

These might help. They are in the Ruby Depository.
Ben, they should be updated now. Thanks for notifying us.
Guys, please post a picture with the model.

Thanks. 
Glad to help, I hope you get it squared away.
Here you go.
I noticed in the file you posted there were some lines over the component you created that were not in the component itself. Maybe this had something to do with it???
Try this.
Explode the component, then select your geometry again and create component again. This time make 100% sure you have "Cut Opening" checked. Then copy it to the right cube and it should behave fine.
I am not saying you did not do this before but I just did what I described and it worked fine.
Maybe you need one of those brain defrag's Tomsdesk was talking about. So do I.
I think I have seen the one you are talking about but don't know exactly where it is. Did you see it posted here or somewhere else?
Here is a great tut on Intersect With Model as well:

Best wishes to the wife Eric.
We are doing it the Martha Stewart way this year.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
You are spending Thanksgiving in Jail? 
Well my wife is sick so I have to cook the turkey this year. So I started looking for a recipe. I found one just in time for Thanksgiving, a turkey recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing - imagine that! I thought it was perfect for people, like me, who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. Give this a try.
BAKED STUFFED TURKEY
15 lb. turkey
1 cup melted butter
4 cups stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is good)
2 bags uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHERS LOW FAT)
Salt/pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush turkey well
with melted butter, salt, and pepper. Fill cavity with
stuffing and popcorn (be sure to remove popcorn from bag before placing in turkey).
Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven. Listen for
the popping sounds.
When the turkey's ass blows the oven door open
and the turkey flies across the room, it is done.
And, you thought I couldn't cook.
It should be a great day 
Ha Ha. Did you use Sketchy Physics to bust it apart?
