PACKAGES AND LEFTOVERS

Rotated tile grid takeoff — tiles per pack scenarios.

How does changing tiles per pack affect rotated tile grid takeoff when the other inputs stay fixed?

What this decision changes

A package quantity is a purchasing denominator. It does not change the net requirement of the measured task. Method basis: Tiles are rotated as a full specified grid, then clipped against the measured rectangle. A tile that only touches an edge uses no area and is excluded. It is a takeoff, not a recommended tile angle.

The focus is tiles per pack. All other shared inputs remain fixed for each evaluated range.

Start with your measured plan and selected product data. The initial values and range are illustrative. Each scenario changes only tiles per pack; the other entered values stay fixed.

Where to get this value

Measure this dimension in your plan or on site and use the displayed unit. For irregular shapes, divide the geometry into the supported sections.

Floor length

Where to get this value

Measure this dimension in your plan or on site and use the displayed unit. For irregular shapes, divide the geometry into the supported sections.

Tile width

Nine evenly spaced values are evaluated. Whole counts are rounded to distinct integer scenarios. Values between the listed samples are not calculated.

6 evaluated scenarios

Baseline: Whole tile packs without cut reuse — 3 . Rejected combinations remain visible below.

Quantity to plot

Each bar is one actual calculated whole tile packs without cut reuse. Horizontal values: tiles per pack in the supplied count basis.

Read the evaluated results

Inspect the purchase staircase and the resulting quantity lines. Larger packages can reduce package count while increasing unused compatible stock.

Replace every illustrative baseline measurement and selected product value with the inputs for your actual task.
Enter a comparison range on the focused input's stated unit and quantity basis.
Review rejected combinations and use the exact detail lines to distinguish measured demand from whole purchases.

Keep the comparison within scope

Different package sizes can share an order comparison only when the selected contents and quantity bases are interchangeable.

Tiles are rotated as a full specified grid, then clipped against the measured rectangle. A tile that only touches an edge uses no area and is excluded. It is a takeoff, not a recommended tile angle.

Dimensions, quantities, prices, timing and product properties are supplied by you. This tool does not select construction specifications or assess structural, electrical or hydraulic suitability.

Only the listed samples are evaluated. Intermediate values, alternate constraints and global cutting optimality are not inferred from the graph.
