Array type

Tile pattern to construct:

Regular grid - regular tile pattern. The positioning is organized as multiple of the nominal tile size.

X axis filling - tiles are extended horizontally up to four times the defined width. Suits for designing tiles along a corridor while avoiding creation of small edge tiles.

Y axis filling - tiles are extended vertically up to four times the defined width. Suits for designing tiles along a corridor while avoiding creation of small edge tiles.

Tile width

Determines tile width:

Constant - all tiles have a constant width.

Minimize by coverage - width of the tiles created to the edges of the extent polygon minimized to cover the extent only.

Tile height

Determines tile height:

Constant - all tiles have a constant height.

Minimize by coverage - height of the tiles created to the edges of the extent polygon minimized to cover the extent only.
