I would love to see a texture based on squares and or triangles. About the closest I can come in the current textures is using grooves, but I can’t create the equal spacing between the square or rectangular lines when I use that texture. This product that I designed in layering has 3.20 mm squares with a spacing of 3.20 mm between them on two faces. with them extending about 50% of the way up. I found that to get them to print well, I needed them to go to the very bottom layer so I could put a brim around them. But because of the nozzle size and the squares being a multiple of the nozzle diameter, they print really clean! I’m going to continue to design a set for the bathroom around this design. but doing it by hand is sort of rough!

@MichaelDCarney2 thank you, and for the photos, that is a neat design! There is no square or triangle texture yet, but the hole pattern tool can do your squares: choose "Custom shape" and a 3.2 mm box from your scene, and it is repeated on the face in rows and columns; "Wall" sets the gap between them to 3.2 mm. For recesses instead of studs, pick square holes with their own depth.

If layerling is useful to you, a small donation helps me keep improving it. Thank you!

@MichaelDCarney2 henmedia's hole pattern idea works, and now there is also a real pattern for it: Squares and Triangles, which keep the size and the gap exactly as you set them. You can try them in my demo: https://marcus040473.github.io/?editor=1, and they go to henmedia as a pull request.

For your bathroom set:

1. Pick Squares, set the square size to 3.2 mm and Gap to 3.2 mm.
2. Switch on From the bottom edge: the first row then starts right at the bottom and reaches down into the first layer, ready for a brim (rows at 0–3.2, 6.4–9.6 mm and so on).
3. Click Pick faces and click your two sides.
4. To stop at about half the height, put a helper box over the upper half and set its Texture mask to Keeps the texture away.

Triangles work the same way, in rows pointing up and down in turn. Raised or pressed in, both work.

@MichaelDCarney2 Squares and Triangles are out now in layerling 1.143.0, with Gap and From the bottom edge, just as @marcus040473 described above: https://github.com/henmedia/layerling/releases/tag/v1.143.0. Thanks to Marcus for building them!
