How do I add floor tiles to an image?

Yeah, the problem is the rounded corridors and cargo bays. I would need a way to warp the tile otherwise it just looks bad. do you know of any good way to bend images along a path?

Also, it looks like the best bet for what I want is to create a layer of raster images colaged together to make up the floor, then export it and the floor to png, open up a raster app and use the floorplan as a mask to trim the colage, then re-import it to inkscape. Is there a way to trim raster images imported into inkscape using an object as a mask, thereby cutting out the intermediary export, trim, import?

Well I decided to not tile the floor, anything I tried just looked messy. So instead I manually drew in some grid lines that other than 2 places seem to work. I think it is just an issue of trying to mark 1in^2 areas in rounded structures. There is no really good way to do it.

Anyway, thanks for all the advice I will be posting the finished product in the Scifi forum.
