    Tip from Egg Bramhill

    The brush tool can be a great way to produce a tile.
    The steps below may seem long winded, but once you've worked thru it I'm sure it will become fairly straight forward

    1: Draw a line (I used a spiral)
    2: Make line width largish (6pts)
    3: Apply a stroke (convex3)
    4: Apply a bevel (5%)
    5: Convert to editable shapes / ungroup /deselect
    6: Select the original shape / delete
    7: This leaves only the bevel
    8: Arrange / make bitmap copy
    9: Make brush /size / spaving rotation as desired
    10: Draw a spiral with brush
    11: Draw a square covering the a section of the painted spiral
    12: Put square to back / Select square and painted spiral
    13: Arrange / apply clip view
    14: Arrange / make a bitmap copy
    15: Apply a bevel
    16: Arrange / make a bitmap copy

    You now have a tile that you can use as you wish. Some very rich textures can be made using this method and the bevel ensures that the tile repeats acceptably.
