neworld 0 Posted May 17, 2013 I'm sure we used to be able to duplicate a rectangular shape such as a paver along a path before but now I can't do that in VW2010. Duplicate array options do not follow paths. :confused: All I want to do is create a stepping stone path with pavers at right angles to the path. :crazy: Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post
Bryan G. 32 Posted May 17, 2013 Duplicate along path is what you are looking for Quote Share this post Link to post
Bryan G. 32 Posted May 17, 2013 Duplicate along path and check the Tangent to path option Quote Share this post Link to post
Benson Shaw 575 Posted May 17, 2013 If there are several courses, you need a new path for each course. Use the offset tool to copy your original path inboard or outboard. If a path curves a lot, it may need to be split into segments eg a segment for each arc with different duplication spacing to avoid pavers penetrating each other. -B Quote Share this post Link to post
J. Wallace 71 Posted May 18, 2013 What about using the hardscape tool ? Quote Share this post Link to post
Bryan G. 32 Posted May 18, 2013 It would be nice if the hardscape tool could create running bond paths but it does not. it would also be nice to create more elaborate border systems. i.e. 4x8 soldier with 4x4 split stone and 6x6 square all different colors and together to make a border, or even a double or triple row.

neworld 0 Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks Bryan I tried that but the squares are not done at a tangent to the path (not in this drawing file anyway). This particular project has a circle theme so I have to create paths on arcs. Benson, I also noted a solution on the hardscape tool but it is way too complex for what I want or am able to do. Appreciate both your suggestions though. Bruce Quote Share this post Link to post
Tamsin Slatter 503 Posted May 19, 2013 The best thing is to use a Tile fill and a Wall to create such a pathway. Tile Fills can be set to Rotate in Wall and can also Fit to Wall (on their Y Axis). I have created a series of Tile Fills that you can download from our website. I can't remember if I set them to ROtate in Wall, but you can easily edit their settings yourself if not. http://www.vectorworks-training.co.uk/other-services-vectorworks-services/other-services-vectorworks-free-downloads/ Quote Share this post Link to post
Tamsin Slatter 503 Posted May 19, 2013 Sorry - correction, that won't work if the wall is a Round Wall. However, you could create a Line Type and use that on a curved Polyline. This works beautfully. Quote Share this post Link to post
Tamsin Slatter 503 Posted May 19, 2013 P.S. Apologies again... you won't be able to do this with 2010. You'll need 2013. Quote Share this post Link to post
Nico_be 29 Posted May 20, 2013 Attachments Pavers Along a Path.png (8 downloads) Description: Pavers Along a Path - using a Line Type and a Polyline Hello Tamsin, In your screenshot did you use 2 different Line Type, so one for each paversize or only one wich as the width of the path? Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post
Tamsin Slatter 503 Posted May 20, 2013 HI It's just one Polyine, with one single line type... Quote Share this post Link to post
