What is the best way to make floor tiles & define them ? I have tried numerous ways Can someone please list the best steps ???
-
Boy & I thought it was just me not knowing the program !! I see you can see dimensions in plan view , but i also would love to bring an elevation view to a layout with all the dimensions , showing the height of the shower seat , pony wall height , wall cap , tile sizes , niches , & so on !!! All these details are the main reason i purchased the program !!! IN CONSTRUCTION A CHANGE ANYWHERE IS A CHANGE EVERYWHERE !!!!!

Not ignoring you...just been giving some thought to how best to accomplish the task you are asking about. I've never gone to the trouble of laying out individual tiles made from p-solids. I'm not a tile installer and since there are thousands of tiles and pieces...it always seems like a waste of time to me. I gather if you are into design/build...and maybe bath and/or kitchen remodeling that this type of planning could be helpful.
One thing you need to realize is that if you use a p-solid as a "tile"...you will have to paint it with a texture. If you want it to represent an exact tile from a specific manufacturer...you will have to search the web and find a picture of that tile that you can use. You may be able to download the image...or, you may have to use a screen capture tool to get the image you want.
Maybe you can be more specific as to what you are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to design shower walls with specific tile layouts...using a custom tile that is not included in any of Chief's catalogs?

getting tiles to work out by math is one of the issues .A 6 x 6 tile on a diagonal would measure 8 1/2" , if i use multi copy i would set it for 8 5/8 to allow for the grout joint & drag it across the area . left to right & up & down so my diagonal dimensions would work out very close , I would call those tiles the field tiles .Then there would be perimeter tiles , say 4" x 24" the 4" dimension can be trimmed to meet the rooms widths left to right & up & down also.
using concentric jump has me stumped also for setting the permiter tiles . There are tiles from dale tile in my library & also in chief that match my criteria , however the rainbow tool to adjust material definition is also giving me an issue . Again any help is greatly appreciated

I would like to make floor & wall tiles from dale tile . I believe the best way is to start with a polyline solid , is that correct ? When i use the polyline solid & get the drop down menu which box should i check ? I am also having issues trying to adjust the way the tile shows up when i use the material definition tool , I want the tile to show up as a single tile 2 x 2 - 6 x 6 etc . with the grout joints in between those tiles . Any help is greatly appreciated
