Scaling up affects position of neighbor layers (avoid overlap)

[Dan Ebberts]

The simplistic expression just spreads the layers out in the +x and +y directions. You probably want something that maintains the grid structure, which I think is possible, but would require a much more complicated expression.

Many thanks again, Dan. i’m gonna go and try to figure out how i might be able to do that

[Dan Ebberts]

In general, the expression is going to need to be aware of the grid structure (number of columns at least) so it can figure out which row and column it is in, and the max height of each of the rows and the max width of each of the columns.

Mayra Vescovi’s tutorial definitely helped with understanding what’s required. i got it to work too, with some tweaks for personal preference

i also see a bunch of your ‘grid’ snippets that i’m going to investigate when i don’t have to do actual work!
