The Checkered menu can be found with the [Checkered...] button in the main General Tool menu. This operation places a block every other block, making a checkered or striped pattern.

The block selection menu at the bottom of the menu starts the Checkered operation once you select a block with it. Selecting a block in the menu the [Replace...] button opens also starts the opreation.
Alternating Axes
Through the Alternating axes option, you can change which axes alternate. For example, if only the X axis is selected, the operation will create a striped pattern that alternates along the X axis.
Start with Block
The [Start with Block] option lets you change whether to start with a block, or wait for the alternation to place a block.
Replace
The [Replace...] button opens a menu where you can choose a certain block to replace ([Normal]), or a certain block to not replace ([Exclude]). Selecting a block in this menu starts the Checkered operation.
