METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CREATING SURFACE COVERING LAYOUTS
The invention provides a method for the preparation of pattern data for a surface-covering for one or more spaces wherein the surface-covering pattern data defines pattern characteristics which include the number of pieces of surface-covering, the measurements of each piece, the shape of each piece, laying direction of each piece, laying angle of each piece, number of joints, position of each joint, and/or -machine-learnt pattern characteristics which method comprises the steps of:a. Providing a surface plan for the one or more spaces wherein the surface plan defines shape characteristics of each of the spaces wherein shape characteristics comprise the dimensions and shape of each space and the location, type, shape, and/or dimensions of any feature or obstruction in each space;b. Determining a hierarchy of pattern criteria for determining one or more pattern priorities for the surface-covering pattern wherein the pattern criteria include one or more aesthetic criteria, one or more machine-learnt criteria, and/or minimising the number of joints;c. Generating pattern data for the one or more spaces wherein the pattern data defines pattern characteristics; andd. Analysing the pattern data according to the pattern criteria hierarchy to identify pattern data which have the best fit with the pattern criteria;a kit of pieces of surface covering defined by pattern data obtained from the method of the invention; and a software application operable to perform the method of the invention.
