Place Flexi-Tiles : CP_FLEXITILE – CADPower Command

Key features include:

1. Smart Flexi-Tile Placement

Enables placement of rectangular, irregular, or variable-sized tiles.
Supports interactive tile resizing and scaling for perfect fitment.

2. Dynamic Sizing & Adjustments

Allows on-the-fly tile dimension modifications during placement.
Can auto-adjust tile sizes based on available space within a boundary.

3. Multiple Placement Methods

XY Dimensions: Define precise tile size and fit within a defined boundary.
Corner Picks: Manually select two corners to define the tile dynamically.
Polygon Fill: Automatically fill a closed polygon with flexible tiles.

4. Gap and Alignment Control

Custom gap settings between tiles for precise spacing.
Staggered or aligned placement options for enhanced layout control.

5. Integration with CP_BOM for Quantity Calculation

Works seamlessly with CP_BOM to generate Bill of Materials (BOM) reports.
Computes tile count, cost, and area for material estimation.

6. Support for Non-Uniform Tiles

Allows placement of irregular tile shapes to fit within complex boundaries.
Adaptive tile scaling ensures minimal material wastage.

7. 3D Element & Image Attachment Support

Option to create 3D representations for better visualization.
Supports image-based tile textures for realistic pattern planning.

Ideal Applications

Architectural & Interior Design: Custom tile patterns for floors, walls, and ceilings.
Construction & Engineering: Modular panel placement for formwork and cladding.
Fabrication & Manufacturing: Optimized sheet metal and composite panel layouts.
