Creating a textured station platform surface

[Shalmeneser]

[Rage on] How dare you ask for help when everything is in the file I provide you ? [Rage off]

Your first LinearPattern is wrong and you continue with two more patterns ?

* You rename your 1st LinearPattern with "LinearPattern Y axis" but you do not use this direction but "horizontal".
* If LL is horizontal, do not use HH.

Occurrences should probably have something in front of it, like Constraints.Occurrences, Spreadsheet.Occurrences, etc.

In 0.20.27008, 'LinerPattern.Occurences' will be automatically changed to 'Occurences'.

What happens if LinearPattern.Occurrences is 3 and LinearPatter001.Occurrences is 4 and I say in the formula to use LinearPattern.Occurrences?

Your sketch is bad imperfect :
* Zero-dimension : try always to replace a dimension with a geometry when it's possible.
* 6-dimension : if this 6 is the half ot the 12, geometry should translate this (like in my sketch ).

Thanks for your reply. I apologise for the difficulties I have caused myself and to you. I have used your file as a template throughout this build but changed my mind on certain features and wanted to take advantage by making the print larger to make it interlocking such that I could do all the station platform surfaces from this file. I have learnt much from your work and the mistakes I made.
Please see attached the re-drawn Sketch002. I have used only the minimum of dimension and used Symmetry to centre the second rectangle.

"Occurrences" is for the actual LinearPattern (and automatically modified by FC).
If you use 'Occurrences' for the other LinearPattern, the name of the other feature is compulsory ('LinearPatter001.Occurrences') and left unmodified by FC.

Great, but I think you will need only MultiTransform with 2 LinearPattern inside.

[Shalmeneser]

If I understand, you want multiple walls interlocking themselves.

* 3D printer dimension ?
* rectangle : padding down (reversed)
* brick : padding up

I used the LinerPattern xxx prefix in the two LinearPattern formula even though they were replaced with just Occurances. It is useful because the dropdown in the formula lists the unused and available LinearPatterns. I shall use this method every time for confidence.

Yes I want to take full advantage of the printer and at the moment wanted to make this possible on the platform surface an then the platform walls after I have run the first trial of the Platform surface.
The printer I am using is a Creality CR6 SE with a bed size of 235mm x 235mm bed with a height capacity of 245mm.
