Have a look at the box corners component! You only have to link the A to the upper pComp (adding two inputs to the pCpomp makes every brick twice

Thank you SO much Dedackelzucht!

 

Do you have any suggestions on randomising the bricks rotation or size?

 

Thanks again,

I would suggest an attractor! Or do you have an idea, but you do not know how to solve it!?

An idea,

 

I was considering adding a "random" button with values relating to rotation and size.  I just dont know where to insert them.

And there are bricks that follow the datum (or centre line) of the wall when baked.  These do not appear to rotate.

 I just made a fast defenition. That´s one way to do it! Play around with the 3 sliders at the end! You can add other math compontents, or move the cente  in x and y direction. How ever...I think this gives you a idea of how it could work.

I don't seem to be able to get it to function Deda, 

 

The two sliders don't seem to work and the other slider plugged into A/B is not connected.

 

Did you manage to vary size and/or rotation?

 

Thanks again for your help,

Hello DeDackel,

 

thanks for your time,  I was able to build most of the Def.  

 

What is the component "Rad" with d and r either side near the top right?

 

Regards,

Thats a new component to change degrees to radiens. You can do that with a function as well, Rad(x)

BTW the "random" component needs to be removed from the definition, as it duplicates bricks too may times.
