Great use of the phrase kev'd it i think he wiuld be proud that there is an expression originating from him .Someone mentioned sketchup in another thread, thought I'd pop back with my latest visual I did for a customer.
This started out straight forward with them sending me an Autocad model of their hallway. Then it got complicated when they said they wanted a visual including the Olde English Hallington design and Paladin border.
Again, if you have the textures to do it, brilliant. It will be quicker as you can just click on a surface, hit the paint button, and its done. But to get a slightly better understanding of how to actually plan out the tiles, every piece you see in this picture is a scale size individual component. Each tile placed piece by piece. took ages but gives you a better feeling of creating something.... like actually tiling it but with less mess. Doing it this way also allows adjustment in grout joints from 3mm on the biggest tiles down to 0.75 on the smaller squares. Only thing I didn't do was reduce the grout on the border pieces. So I kev'd it and stuck a closer in half way down one side (I know..... lazy setting out especially as the hall is 11.5m long). You can see it, 5th black dot up on the left hand side. I also kev'd the outer fill tiles. In just a couple more minutes I could have lined the grout up with the border but my eyes started going funny.
Gotta say though, its a good way to learn the theory behind victorian floor design setting out
