What is the best way to tile a bathroom?

[Anonymous]

I ask this question since I imagine we all need to do this at some point.

What are the alternatives for tiling a bathroom when you really want to control where the tiles fall, and show thicknesses?

Typically, I have always just done vector hatch fils in 2D, and then made a lib part built from slabs the drawing if I really want/need to show the tiling in 3d.

Having parts/objects that on a render layer for this purpose is fine, just wondering what my fellow Archicad users do.

The Archicad shower glass panel turns off the glass if the material is set for "general", which saves the hassle of making my own.

And while I can't align the texture in a library part made by profiler, I can now put up thin walls for the tiles and control the hatch on them.

Now if only there was a nice parametric shower pan that had a curb, showed a center drain(either square or round) and showed the tiles cut as desired. Guess I'll go program it myself....

Thanks all.
