How to control the tissue add-on with distribution and other aspects?

[Okidoki]

Looking into this addon again ( thank you for this)… hmm there are no offsets possible… but…
I think for this your repeative part should be only this one in the green area:

…this might give some problems at top or bottom row… maybe the Merge options can help with this (Bridge and Cup vertex groups… have to look for myself )

A good place to share is may be this:

essellate Tessellate tool allows you to copy a selected object (Component) on the faces of the active object (Generator), adapting its bounding box to the shape of quad-faces. Once the Tessellate button was pressed, then more options will appear in the Operator parameters.Update allows you to update the active the Tessellated mesh according to Component and Generator changes. You can also change the parameters of tessellation. [https://camo.githubusercontent.com/15dbb4366fc1ef23b3badfb2da8f4d8…

there are also some other posts about it like for example:

Mesh Tessellation Using The Tissue Addon

Making chainmail with alternating rows of rings

I have made a geometry node setup, but I want to be able to adjust the distance between the points ( maybe the distance between the rings in Z and Y axis, and distance and offset between the rows is a better description). Altso, the rings should alternate in rows,- so I get one rows of solid rings, and one rows of riveted rings. How do I fix that ?
