Difference Between Center Pattern Position and Center Tile Position
1. Center Pattern Position:
- This option centers the entire pattern grid within the room based on the grid lines. It ensures that the grid is symmetrically aligned but does not necessarily center individual tiles.
2. Center Tile Position:
- This option centers the tiles themselves within the room. It adjusts the pattern so that the tiles are symmetrically placed, which may result in a different alignment compared to the grid-centered option.
