    Seems like that would only work if there was relation in the ratio between width and height...which would be unlikely on a random face's area.
    But the good news is that I could be wrong.

    @wick3d Mind showing us a screenshot depicting an example of what you want to achieve? That would help us understand the real proportions of the issue.
    Right now I can think of at least 2 or 3 methods to do what you ask, but I'm not sure I've clearly understood your request.

    Yea, you just need more loops going between the long edges than you do going between the short edges.

    If your rectangle is 10x20, then 10x20 loops will give you squares that are 1x1.


    10x20 with 5x10 loops will give 2x2 squares.
    Just stick to the length/width ratio and you should be good. Or am I missing something?
