I always thought it was and have been trying to think of a way to implement it in Bricksaic for about a year. I was trying to come up with a smart and efficient way of doing it. I finally figured out a way to do it but the results are not what i was hopping for. While implementing my idea i came up with a better one, and an even better one after that. but the better ones may not be so good.

So which is the best way? Is there a better way? When building such a huge mosaic, is part count really an issue? How should i handle this in Bricksaic? Should the user get to choose which optimization to use? Is this even an issue? Am I putting to much thought into this (my brain is starting to hurt)?

Bob,

I just downloaded a copy of program this week and have played around with it over a few lunch hours. Good question. Can you implement all three choices, say as a toggle like you choose with the other features?

I have yet to do a mosiac, but after seeing Van Gough’s Stary Night in the brick, I thought I’d take a more serious look at trying one.

Thanks, Ed
