Gave up.

@unkerjay:
RefzGrid is only the Grid Referenze to see the overlapping better.
Join the new objects with “Add Planes or Add Curve” objects.

For Mesh:

  1. add planes > it jumps directly into editmode
    then:
  2. delete the plane if you don´t needed
  3. and add a new mesh from the insert panel
  4. the new mesh appears in each instance
    or:
  5. do not delete the plane and go to objectmode
  6. select the object you need and the middle field as active (outliner: instance fill)
  7. Now join them toghether with CTRL+J
  8. your new object appears in each instance
  9. if you don´t need the plane mesh : delete it now
    I will show you that in new demo clip…

#1 Update: more functions / less panels

Thank you very much.

That clears it up for me.

With a little help from your addon, Freestyle, the Freestyle Exporter, (Inkscape) and this:

Stereographic Lampshades using the Blender API

I can create this (using Torus Knots (Mesh)):

or this (multiple planes):

More than just patterns.

Great work! And thank for the info!
I will definitely take a look at the lampshade addon.

Here is also:

#Update 3 - small reorder / new panels & color managment panel to uv editor
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5QQIWH-54S1MTNZVHYzVFJjNmM/view?usp=sharing

till next…

I have seen that we can do some work directly, without joining to the instances.
1 > place a object in the middle.
2 > cut it out if needed (rename it to Instance_Fill)
3 > apply scale and rotation
4 > add arrays to it.
5 > !non overlapping: add a single vertice to x or y to correct the array offset
I will check this out in the next update 4…

This addon is really cool for tileable geometry! Still working on that new update?

With a little more experimentation I think this add-on will greatly improve my workflow. Thanks again for making this!
