1. inconsistent grid origin\rotation (tried on simple cube, see pic.1)
   By design, the plugin aligns the pattern length with the longest edge of the face picked. In this case, I would undo and redo the face with 90 rotation selected.

After 90 rotating the tool takes origins randomly: sometimes it's the upper corner, sometimes the lower one.

But the most important: is there place for code optimization? It takes approx 5 min to put 2k tiles (to do it manually would take may be 0.5 min ).

so far the best animated film in this season.
.. but it's important to keep it simple.

Sdmitch, first off thank you for helpful tool!
Could you please polish the following things (though it was puplished as floorgenerator):
Yes, I probably should have called it Pattern Generator instead.

I meant it's not only 'floor' but rather general building finishes modeller.
So it could be tweaked (or 'polished') for wider use.

I see. But may for vertical\ surfaces the horizontal direction set the lenth?

2. additional option 'respect user's pattern- one tile per face, consistent gaps (pic.2).
   ?????????

simply every single preselected polygon will turn into the single tile piece (multiple selection would be crucial in this case). see pic.2 in my previous reply.

3. 'don't penetrate corners' option(very important for metal panel siding\glazing)
   I guess, to implement p.1 and 2, the tool would have to work with multiple faces.
   This is a pattern generator not a groove cutter.

I'd call it building finishes modeler. So in addition to bricks, tiles and parquet
It'd be sweet to get metal panels which have special treatment at the corners. Please
see:

BTW have you ever thought about 'groove cutter'? It's really missing

Many thanks for attention

4. respect adjacent faces!
5. pick up file's units (I'm on cm, for instance)?
6. presets saving?
   Thank you once again.
