Hi,
I’m new to grasshopper and trying to make a grid and want to include an offset to show the fill between the stones. Like in the image shown. Right now it is just made up of a grid of touching squares.
I would like the pavers to be 10m with a 1m gap in between.
The script is almost working perfectly except this small detail. Does anyone know how to add this?

WARNING!!! Opening this file is SLOW!
1 min 27 secs on my machine. I couldn’t optimize it better for him… Sorry.
You shouldn’t start a new topic on the same thing. Just continue with the same one next time.
Yes, you are right… it’s unnecessarily slow for this question. I will edit it.
Thank you!
If you can, reduce your initial geometry. I think you had too much of the rectangles outside of the desired area.
This is a reduced file, it is enough to solve the task.

Thank you!
Hi.
This could be another solution for you…
Lunchbox is required. I used mesh approach at the end for speed things up…
Try to use the sliders in the red group.
Cool!
Thank you. I will take a look at it!
Epic as always! 
Given your original script and few very clever ideas from Joseph and Kim, here is a faster version of your script.

Fantastic! Thanks!
First make the “pavers” 11m. Then just offset them .5.
Real bricks would be 7-5/8" x 2-3/8" to lay up at 8" x 3" with 3/8" joint.
Pavers are a little different. Maybe only 1/8" joint for sand. Real World stuff.
