building sheeting layout |
|
|
I have a project where I need to layout and apply sheeting to a wall or roof
surface. The trick is that I need to lay it out on a surface that may have
notches or offsets and the sheeting edges must align with these. The
sheeting needs to be balanced across the surface so that none is cut at
these notch edges except the first and last sheet on the whole surface. In
the case that isn't possible the same amount must be cut at first, last and
each notch edge sheet. The sheets are all rectangular and the long dimension
is parallel the shortest surface dimension. I strongly feel the solution
will resemble a Greatest Common Divisor solution. Does anyone have
experience in solving a similar problem and can give me a hint how to solve
this? The logic is my problem, drawing the layout is not.
thanks
