- Will it be possible one day to have the source object not be trimmed/clipped? In this way, if you do for example 0.5 shifting you will still see the entirety of the source object, allowing you to get a much more randomised and natural "scattering" effect (when this is desired - for example when making carpets/rugs).

You mean that the patterns modules would overlap with each other? Unfortunately that is not possible.

Thanks Tom. That's a shame. Is there any possibility this feature will come to pattern? Essentially allowing an interlocking non square source shape. It would need to offset alternate rows by 50%. I cant seem to get the randomiser to do this even with stepping, unless Im missing something?

    Unfortunately, this falls into the "practically impossible" category, in that there is likely some way to do it (so it isn't "impossible even in theory"), but it would take a massive investment of development time to get there. It would have to be an entirely different system, not just a modification of what is there already. This means we are not planning on considering this, sorry. The same reply has been given a few times over on the forum when such a suggestion has come up.
