Both macros have been finalised, especially RandStairs that allows now
cement between the stones.
This example to show the result, using isosurface stones (using iso_csg.inc,
thanks to Christoph Hormann).

Hi Thomas,
Just a little remark about the macro. A builder never lays stones with
continuous joins between two rows of masonry; as I show it on your drawing.

Yes.... I know! :-(
I have to think about solving that somehow...

Have been thinking about the problem... But there I would need help!
I just don't know how to solve this elegantly, and without making the macro
too slow.
So, any smart idea is welcome!!

Well, I haven't looked at your macro, but if you kept a list of where the
seams are on the row below (as an array), you could use those numbers to
'repel' seams on the current level. Alternately, if it's easier, you can
mark the centers of the stones on the row below and use that to 'attract'
the seams on the current row.
An even better way would be to use a 2D array of numbers and just layout the
seams in the array, making sure that the consecutive layers don't have seams
at the same places.

Thanks Bryan!
Yes, I have been thinking on the line of your first suggestion. I shall
probably going that way. The second seems good, but maybe will hamper the
random effect... Third, hm... the 2D array should be calculated first in the
macro, before placing the stones, right?

But that is the point Thomas. Walls are not random, they have rules to
keep them standing.

Aah! But there are no rules in my universe! :-)
Seriously: Yes, that is correct, but I want the walls to be as random as
possible. So... more work to do...
