Patterned Baseplates

[Mikkel Bech Jensen]

Beautiful, thanks!

I am curious, do you design your baseplates manually (i.e. each triangle, quadrilateral) or do you somehow read in the pattern?  How do you actually create the patterns?  Everything I've done I do manually, which is extremely time consuming.

I use 'Ldraw Pattern Creator' (developed by Nils Schmidt). It is the best tool for creating patterns   I took a picture of every surface on the plate and used that as reference (easy to do in ldpc). This part was however VERY time consuming to do as it has so many patterned faces. I will try to finish it up and upload it to the tracker immediately
