There are some non-obvious things when using this method. I tried to make a pattern for a brick wall.
Here is it:
The isolated vertices marked with red arrows are needed for welding after replication. In other words, all vertices on adjacent faces must match for successful welding.
Look at the nearest and farthest corner. Dividing the "bricks" on the short ends of the pattern by not 1/2 (1/4-3/4 to be precise) of its length is necessary for more convenient selecting of unnecessary edges to dissolve it after welding.
