I’m attempting to do a tiling project with Carbide Create. Is it even possible with this software? I’m attempting to put this herringbone effect on a 22.5”x40.5” board. Any advice or do I just need to buy a more powerful software? If that’s the case, what recommendations for software?
You’ll likely want to contour (Profile) each line, so I would make them separate open vectors. With copied closed vectors some of the lines will get cut more than once.
Start with a pattern that will repeat. Set the grid size to 1.5"
This pattern will repeat verically every 3". But we only need to cut a little more than half the stock.
So Create your split line at a multiple of 3", just bigger than half the stock
Use Linear Array to copy the pattern
Trim the lines hanging out of the cut area
Now create a Contour / No Offset path to cut the lines.
Move your stock the same multiple of 3… 21" and cut the same path again
You’ll cut a little air at the top of the project.
