yes I know it should be easy!!

I've created a pavement area which is triangular in shape and I want to pave it with a fibonacci series of squares which I've created as a separate file so this needs trimming to the shape of the pavenment if that makes sense. I tried to create the fibonacci paving as a hatch but its too complicated as it obviously doesn't repeat I created it as a symbol but that doesn't render onto the pavement shape..... so I'm now trying to trim the fibonacci paving into the shape and can I do it!! Any suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers

Can you send me a send me the file or a sketch of what you're trying to achieve and I'll write a solution for you...

thanks Tamsin I'll do it over the weekend.......
The Golden Rectangle plug-in is worth checking out:

http://homepage.mac.com/gerritvanoppen/FileSharing29.html

It makes a line pattern that can be ungrouped and made into 2D or 3D polygons, if that is what you're trying to do.
You know when you wish you had taken German more seriously at o-level....... thanks Bob what a great site and there looks like so much other good stuff is there as well - now hwere did I put that German dictionary!!
Hi Bob - can this be opened in VW2008??
Hi Chris, Gerrit's website is in Dutch. I don't think he updated the tool plug-in, so it should be OK for 2008.

There are other sites with freebies too -- Vectordepot.com, for example.
I didn't realise these sites existed - what a great conmmunity, if its a plugin then how do I get it in to the vectorworks..... is that dumb question??........
Oh, I guess you really are a newbie. Plug-ins are first stored in the program's plug-ins folder. Then use the Workspace Editor to add it to your tools or menus. The help system should tell you more.
Thanks Bob...... yes technical term newbie that's me but trying to learn fast!!
Do you have an example of the pattern. I can't quite visualise the fibonacci golden squares as a pattern. I am sure there is a way of making them tesselate!
Hi Jason

Yes sent it to Tamsin and she's sent me back a solution...

Thanks
