Stone types
Layout
Step 2
Choose the brick type
Pick the stone family first, then adjust its size if needed for your project.
Custom dimensions: 200 x 100 mm
For pavers with spacer nubs, where the stated size already contains the gap. The stones are laid touching, so the joint width is set to 0.
Step 3
Choose the laying pattern
Select the pattern that should be applied to the current surface.
How to build your own laying pattern
Not every bond is in the pattern library. In the Pattern Designer you describe a pattern the way the planner calculates it: as a repeat tile, a small piece of surface that repeats over and over.
- Give the pattern a name under Pattern name so you can find it in the planner later.
- Under Stone types, add each format with its width, length and thickness in millimetres.
- Under Layout, add every stone with Place stone. Offset X and Offset Y set the position of its corner in the tile, and Orientation turns it by 90°.
- Enter under Repeat X and Repeat Y after how many millimetres the pattern repeats. The stones should fill that area without gaps.
- Click Save pattern. In the planner the pattern then appears under Custom patterns and works like any other, including the shopping list and the optimizer.
An example: the pinwheel pattern is four 200 × 100 mm rectangles and one 100 × 100 mm square in a 300 × 300 mm tile. Custom patterns stay in your browser, with no account and no upload.
Ready-made patterns with quantities per square metre are in the paver pattern templates.
