:confused:
Hi,
I am trying to get to grips with a technique for laying flags (Stonemarket Millstone Flags) to a random pattern. I am practising on my computer using some CAD software as a simulator. The problem I am having is that with standard 12 mm jointing between flags I end up with the flags overlapping because although the flags are sized to fit together I end up with differing numbers of joints and hence the overlapping.
The Stonemarket catologue does give some help (never have 4 corners meeting) but does not deal specifically with a method to avoid the overlapping problem I am having.
Is it that I am being too 'precise' with the software or is this a real paving problem?
Does anyone have a method to follow for random flag paving?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
