Hi All

Was just playing around today with this very basic pattern , it's a good example of the use of lines and points in BPM..
Here's a copy of the sketch file [ *.bpmlc ] FM Whatsapp Download

Hey All

Here's one I did today... this is how I sometimes go about making patterns, you find the repeat that would make it seamless then draw it in Qcad on the grid that best fits..
As you can see I used the blue markers on this pattern to help me line it up vertically..
The perspective tool didn't work too well on the door image so the rectangles are a bit out of whack but it gave me some info to start creating this pattern.. BPM sketch files attached..

Hi All

Here’s another example of how you could use the blue markers to help you draw a pattern.
In this example I’m using “bpm-herringbone3-1.bpmlc” which you can find in the downloaded zip file folder called BPM-Sketches.
This pattern has been drawn on a 6x6 grid, to enable us to place gaps between the boards we’ll use a 36x36 grid “which is dividable by 6”, mark positions with the “Blue Markers” and redraw the original which will give us a our guides, these are later removed by using the "Edit Mode" feature in the App.. The gif below shows the steps.
