brick wall

[jkb]

Banging my head against a brick wall.



I need to create a brick wall assembly which can be used in other assemblies. I need to be able to delete individual bricks without effecting patterns etc. Is there an easy way to create a quick and easy set of building blocks in a large scale assembly?



I thank you

sure!



create the brick.



pattern, and redefine as a pattern table.



this way you can delete individual bricks while maintaining all you ref pattern features.

the way i understand his question, he doesn't want to affect the pattern benefits.



pattern table is the only way i know to do this.



unpatterning would, for example, break any REF PATTERN ability.
