Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of interior design technology, specifically relating to a method and system for seamlessly connecting wall and floor materials. Background Technology
[0002] In current interior design, the arrangement of wall and floor materials typically relies on the designer's experience and manual measurements. Traditional methods often involve first taking preliminary measurements of the space to determine the location of fixed fixtures such as doors and windows, then manually drawing up design plans based on this data, and calculating the required material quantities according to the drawings. While feasible, this method is tedious and prone to errors, especially when dealing with complex layouts or requiring precise material matching. Furthermore, due to the lack of real-time adjustment capabilities, the entire layout plan may need to be replanned if dimensions in the design change.
[0003] A major technical challenge is how to efficiently and accurately achieve seamless layout of wall and floor materials within existing technical solutions, especially in spaces with multiple door and window openings, ensuring consistency among all elements while minimizing human error. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for seamlessly connecting wall and floor materials, which optimizes the entire process from preliminary design to final confirmation, improves work efficiency, and ensures decoration quality, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a method for seamlessly connecting wall and floor materials, comprising the following steps:
[0006] Select a starting point within the space to be renovated, and draw the initial wall projection lines based on this starting point. Determine the locations of door and window openings based on these initial wall projection lines, and set marker points around them. Calculate the dimensions of the door and window openings based on these marker points and record the results. Using the dimensions of the door and window openings, adjust the initial wall projection lines to meet the actual size requirements. Design the floor layout according to the adjusted wall projection lines, ensuring that the boundaries match the wall projection lines. Calculate the required quantity of flooring materials using the floor layout design and create a list. Based on the list and the locations of the door and window openings, generate an elevation layout drawing including doors and windows. Check whether all elements in the elevation layout drawing are consistent and harmonious. Save the design file after confirming that everything is correct.
[0007] Preferably, the step of selecting a starting point within the space to be renovated and drawing the initial wall projection line of the space based on the starting point includes:
[0008] Measure and record the vertical distances from the starting point to the two adjacent walls, denoted as Lw1 and Lw2 respectively.
[0009] The position Pc of the spatial center point is determined using the formula (Lw1+Lw2) / 2.
[0010] Starting from the starting point, mark multiple equally spaced points along the ground towards position Pc, with each point spaced Dp apart, satisfying Dp = Lw1 / 10, to form a series of reference points;
[0011] Connect the starting point and the last reference point with a straight line, and extend the line until it touches the wall. Adjust the line according to the actual shape of the wall to make it fit the wall outline, thus completing the drawing of the initial wall projection line.
[0012] Preferably, the location of door and window openings is determined based on the initial wall projection lines, and marker points are set around them, including:
[0013] Measure and record the distance Ddo from the center point of each door and window opening to the nearest reference point along the initial wall projection line. Calculate the relative position Pmo of the center point of each door and window opening using the formula (Ddo1+Ddo2) / 2 based on the Ddo value.
[0014] Around the relative position Pmo, measurements are taken at a predetermined interval Sm, satisfying Sm = Dp / 5. Four marker points are marked around the point Pmo to form a square boundary.
[0015] Connect the two marker points on the diagonal and check if the intersection point coincides with the Pmo point; if the intersection point does not completely match the Pmo point, adjust the position of the marker point until they match.
[0016] Preferably, the dimensions of the door and window openings are calculated based on the marked points, and the results are recorded, including:
[0017] Measure and record the distances between the marked points around each door and window opening, including the distance Lwdo in the width direction and the distance Lhdo in the height direction;
[0018] Based on the square boundary formed by the marked points, the width Wdo of the door and window opening is calculated using the formula (Lwdo1+Lwdo2) / 2, and the height Hdo of the door and window opening is calculated using the formula (Lhdo1+Lhdo2) / 2.
[0019] The area Ado of the door and window openings is calculated based on the values of Wdo and Hdo, satisfying Ado = Wdo * Hdo, and the values of Wdo, Hdo and Ado are recorded in the design document;
[0020] Check whether the recorded data matches the actual door and window openings. If there is a discrepancy, remeasure and update the values of Wdo, Hdo, and Ado until they match the actual situation.
[0021] Preferably, adjusting the initial wall projection line to match the actual size requirements using the dimensions of the door and window openings includes:
[0022] Based on the width Wdo and height Hdo of the door and window openings, mark the actual outline boundary points of the door and window openings at the corresponding positions on the initial wall projection line;
[0023] Calculate the distance difference between each door and window opening boundary point and the nearest reference point, including the distance difference Dpw' in the width direction and the distance difference Dph' in the height direction, satisfying Dpw'=|Lwdo1-Lwdo2| / 2, Dph'=|Lhdo1-Lhdo2| / 2;
[0024] Based on the values of Dpw' and Dph', the initial wall projection line is adjusted so that the wall projection line at the door and window opening positions is adjusted according to the formulas X = X original + Dpw' and Y = Y original + Dph'.
[0025] Connect the adjusted points to form a new wall projection line, and check whether the newly generated wall projection line accurately reflects the actual size of the door and window openings.
[0026] Preferably, the floor layout design is carried out according to the adjusted wall projection lines, ensuring that the boundaries match the wall projection lines, including:
[0027] Select a starting point on the ground as the reference point for the ground layout. This reference point should be aligned with one end of the adjusted wall projection line.
[0028] Based on the shape and length of the wall projection line, the total length Lg of the ground layout line segment is calculated using the formula Lg=∑(Xn-Xn-1)^2+(Yn-Yn-1)^2, where Xn and Yn are the coordinates of two consecutive points on the wall projection line;
[0029] Draw ground layout lines along the ground starting from the reference point according to the total length Lg, ensuring that each line segment is parallel to the corresponding part of the wall projection line and the distance is consistent, satisfying Dg=|Lwall-Lground| / N, where Dg is the maximum allowable deviation value, Lwall is the length of the wall projection line, Lground is the length of the ground layout line, and N is the number of segments;
[0030] Check whether the ground layout lines completely match the adjusted wall projection lines. If a deviation is found between the ground layout lines and the wall projection lines, adjust the position or length of the ground layout lines according to the deviation value until they match.
[0031] Preferably, the required quantity of flooring materials is calculated and a list is compiled based on the floor layout design, including:
[0032] Measure and record the length and width dimensions of each area in the ground layout design, and denote them as area L and area W respectively;
[0033] Based on the values of L and W, the area A of each region is calculated using the formula A = L * W, and the total area Attotal = ∑A is obtained by adding the areas of all regions.
[0034] Based on the standard dimensions of the selected flooring material, let the area of a single piece of material be Am. Use the formula N_material = A_total / Am to calculate the total number of pieces of material required, N_material.
[0035] N is ultimately taken as the final required quantity of materials, and a detailed list including the material name, specifications, and quantity is provided.
[0036] Preferably, based on the list and the locations of door and window openings, an elevation layout drawing including doors and windows is generated, including:
[0037] Based on the material specifications and quantities in the list, mark the application area of each material on the wall in the design document;
[0038] Measure and record the distance from the edge of each door and window opening to the nearest material boundary point, and denot them as Dlo, Dro, Duo, and Ddo respectively. Use the formulas Pm = (Dlo + Dro) / 2 and Pt = (Duo + Ddo) / 2 to calculate the horizontal center Pm and vertical center Pt of the door and window opening relative to the wall layout.
[0039] Based on Pm and Pt, accurately draw the outlines of the door and window openings on the elevation drawing and mark their dimensions;
[0040] Integrate the material coverage areas and the locations of door and window openings to form a complete facade layout.
[0041] Preferably, the design file is saved after checking whether all elements in the facade layout are consistent and coordinated, including:
[0042] The spacing Sij between adjacent material areas in the facade layout drawing is calculated using the formula Sij=|Pi-Pj|-((Wi+Wj) / 2), where i and j represent the numbers of the two adjacent areas.
[0043] Based on Pm and Pt, verify the distance Dk between the edge of the door and window opening and the nearest material boundary to ensure that all Dk values meet the building code requirements;
[0044] The overall layout of the facade layout drawing is reviewed, and the consistency of the dimensions of the door and window openings is verified by comparing the dimensions of each door and window opening with the data recorded in the list.
[0045] Synchronize and update all verified data and adjustment results to the design file. After completing all checks and confirming that there are no errors, save the design file.
[0046] On the other hand, this invention proposes a seamless wall and floor material layout system, comprising:
[0047] The initial wall projection line drawing module is used to select a starting point in the space to be decorated and draw the initial wall projection line of the space based on the starting point.
[0048] The door and window size calculation module is used to determine the location of door and window openings based on the initial wall projection lines, set marker points around them, calculate the door and window opening sizes based on the marker points, and record the results.
[0049] The ground layout design module is used to adjust the initial wall projection lines to meet the actual size requirements using the dimensions of the door and window openings, and to design the ground layout according to the adjusted wall projection lines, ensuring that the boundaries match the wall projection lines.
[0050] The facade layout generation module is used to calculate the required quantity of floor materials and list them based on the floor layout design, and generate a facade layout including doors and windows based on the list and the location of door and window openings.
[0051] The file saving module checks whether the elements in the facade layout are consistent and harmonious, and saves the design file after confirming that there are no errors.
[0052] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention: The seamless joint layout method and system for wall and floor materials proposed in this invention have the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0053] This invention uses digital means to select a starting point and draw initial wall projection lines within the space to be renovated. Based on these lines, the positions and dimensions of door and window openings are precisely located. Then, the wall projection lines are adjusted according to actual needs, and the floor layout design is completed. This method not only improves design accuracy and reduces the possibility of human error, but also enables rapid response to design changes and automatic updates to the layout plan to adapt to new size requirements. Finally, by systematically checking the consistency of each element in the facade layout drawing and saving the design files, the entire process from preliminary design to final confirmation is optimized, improving work efficiency while ensuring the quality of the renovation.

[0055] Figure 2 This is a block diagram of a layout system for seamless connection of wall and floor materials according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0056] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are merely used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0057] This invention provides, for example Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a seamless layout method for wall and floor materials. This method not only improves design accuracy and reduces the possibility of human error, but also enables rapid response to design changes and automatic updates to the layout plan to adapt to new size requirements, as detailed below:
[0058] In this embodiment, the method for seamlessly connecting wall and floor materials includes the following steps:
[0059] Step 1: Select a starting point within the space to be renovated, and draw the initial wall projection lines of the space based on this starting point; specifically including:
[0060] Measure and record the vertical distances from the starting point to the two adjacent walls (denoted as wall 1 and wall 2), denoted as Lw1 and Lw2 respectively. Use the formula (Lw1 + Lw2) / 2 to determine the location Pc of the space's center point. Here, (Lw1 + Lw2) / 2 essentially finds a midpoint equidistant from the starting point and the two walls, which facilitates symmetrical layout design in subsequent operations. This step ensures that a relatively central reference point can be found in complex spaces, providing a foundation for precise subsequent layout. Furthermore, a design scheme based on the center point makes it easier to achieve a balanced distribution of materials, improving overall aesthetics.
[0061] Starting from the initial point, mark multiple equally spaced points along the ground towards position Pc, with each point spaced Dp apart, satisfying Dp = Lw1 / 10, forming a series of reference points. Lw1 / 10 is chosen as the spacing to ensure sufficient accuracy without excessively increasing workload. This value can be adjusted according to actual needs, but Lw1 / 10 provides a balance between accuracy and efficiency.
[0062] Connect the starting point and the last reference point with a straight line, and extend the line until it touches the wall. Adjust the line according to the actual shape of the wall to make it fit the wall outline, thus completing the drawing of the initial wall projection line.
[0063] Example 1
[0064] Suppose that in a room to be renovated, the distances from the selected starting point to two adjacent walls are Lw1 = 3 meters and Lw2 = 4 meters. First, calculate the position of the center point Pc: Pc = (Lw1 + Lw2) / 2 = (3 + 4) / 2 = 3.5 meters.
[0065] Next, in order to draw the initial wall projection line, we need to start from the starting point and mark multiple equally spaced points along the ground towards position Pc, with each point spaced at a distance of Dp: Dp = Lw1 / 10 = 3 / 10 = 0.3 meters.
[0066] If 10 equally spaced points are marked from the starting point to the nearest position Pc, the total distance between the last reference point and the starting point is approximately 3 meters (i.e., 10 * 0.3 meters). Then, connect the starting point and the last reference point with a straight line, extending this line until it touches the wall. Adjust this line to fit the wall's contour according to its actual shape, thus completing the initial wall projection line drawing.
[0067] Step Two: Determine the locations of door and window openings based on the initial wall projection lines, and set marker points around them; specifically including:
[0068] Measure and record the distance Ddo from the center point of each door and window opening to the nearest reference point along the initial wall projection line. Calculate the relative position Pmo of the center point of each door and window opening using the formula (Ddo1+Ddo2) / 2 based on the Ddo value. This is used to find the average of the two distance values, thereby more accurately locating the door and window openings on the wall projection line.
[0069] Around the relative position Pmo, measurements are taken at a predetermined interval Sm, satisfying Sm = Dp / 5. Four marker points are marked around the Pmo point to form a square boundary. This ratio is chosen to ensure that the marker points can clearly mark the edges of the door and window openings without being too dense to affect actual operation.
[0070] Connect the two marker points on the diagonal and check if the intersection coincides with point Pmo. If the intersection does not perfectly match point Pmo, adjust the position of the marker point until they match. This spacing setting method can create a clear boundary around the door and window openings, facilitating subsequent design adjustments and construction operations.
[0071] Example 2
[0072] Suppose there is a door or window opening in a room, along the initial wall projection line, with the distances from the center point of the opening to the nearest reference point being Ddo1 = 1.2 meters and Ddo2 = 1.4 meters, respectively. First, calculate the relative position Pmo of the center point of the door or window opening: Pmo = (Ddo1 + Ddo2) / 2 = (1.2 + 1.4) / 2 = 1.3 meters.
[0073] Next, measurements are taken around point Pmo at a predetermined interval Sm. If Dp (interval between reference points) in the previous step was 0.3 meters, then: Sm = Dp / 5 = 0.3 / 5 = 0.06 meters.
[0074] Four markers are placed around point Pmo to form a square boundary. These four points will be located 0.06 meters above, below, to the left, and to the right of point Pmo. For example, if the actual coordinates of point Pmo are (X, Y), then the approximate coordinates of the four markers will be (X+0.06, Y), (X-0.06, Y), (X, Y+0.06), and (X, Y-0.06).
[0075] Next, connect the two marker points on the diagonal (i.e., (X+0.06,Y) and (X,Y+0.06), and (X-0.06,Y) and (X,Y-0.06)) and check if the intersection point coincides with the Pmo point. If the intersection point is not exactly consistent with the Pmo point, fine-tune the position of the marker point until a match is found.
[0076] Step 3: Calculate the dimensions of the door and window openings based on the marked points and record the results; specifically including:
[0077] Measure and record the distances between the marked points around each door and window opening, including the width distance Lwdo and the height distance Lhdo. Based on the square boundary formed by the marked points, calculate the width Wdo of the door and window opening using the formula (Lwdo1 + Lwdo2) / 2, and calculate the height Hdo of the door and window opening using the formula (Lhdo1 + Lhdo2) / 2. This ensures the accurate quantification of the door and window opening width, which is crucial for subsequent material selection and layout design. Precise width information allows for better planning of material usage, reducing waste and improving efficiency.
[0078] The area Ado of the door and window openings is calculated based on the values of Wdo and Hdo, satisfying Ado = Wdo * Hdo, and the values of Wdo, Hdo, and Ado are recorded in the design document. This step directly gives the size of the space occupied by the door and window openings, which is an important basis for subsequent material estimation and design optimization. By calculating the area of the door and window openings, accurate data support can be provided to designers.
[0079] Check whether the recorded data matches the actual door and window openings. If there is a discrepancy, remeasure and update the values of Wdo, Hdo, and Ado until they match the actual situation.
[0080] Example 3
[0081] Suppose there is a door or window opening in a room, along the initial wall projection line, and the distances between the marked points around it are as follows:
[0082] The width distance Lwdo1 = 1.0 meter, Lwdo2 = 1.05 meter;
[0083] The vertical distance Lhdo1 = 2.0 meters, Lhdo2 = 2.05 meters.
[0084] First, calculate the width Wdo of the door and window openings:
[0085] Wdo=(Lwdo1+Lwdo2) / 2=(1.0+1.05) / 2=1.025 meters;
[0086] Next, calculate the height Hdo of the door and window openings:
[0087] Hdo=(Lhdo1+Lhdo2) / 2=(2.0+2.05) / 2=2.025 meters;
[0088] Then, the area Ado of the door and window openings is calculated based on the Wdo and Hdo values:
[0089] Ado = Wdo * Hdo = 1.025 * 2.025 = 2.075625 square meters;
[0090] Record the values of Wdo (1.025 meters), Hdo (2.025 meters), and Ado (2.075625 square meters) in the design document.
[0091] Finally, check whether the recorded data matches the actual door and window openings. If discrepancies are found, remeasure and update the values of Wdo, Hdo, and Ado until they match the actual situation.
[0092] Step 4: Using the dimensions of the door and window openings, adjust the initial wall projection lines to match the actual size requirements; specifically including:
[0093] Based on the width Wdo and height Hdo of the door and window openings, mark the actual outline boundary points of the door and window openings at the corresponding positions on the initial wall projection line. Calculate the distance difference between each door and window opening outline boundary point and the nearest reference point, including the distance difference Dpw' in the width direction and the distance difference Dph' in the height direction, satisfying Dpw'=|Lwdo1-Lwdo2| / 2 and Dph'=|Lhdo1-Lhdo2| / 2. These two formulas are used to find the positional deviation of the door and window opening edges relative to the original reference point. This step ensures that the position adjustment of the door and window openings on the wall projection line is more accurate and can effectively reflect the actual size requirements.
[0094] Based on the values of Dpw' and Dph', the initial wall projection lines are adjusted so that the wall projection lines at the door and window opening positions are adjusted according to the formulas X = X_original + Dpw' and Y = Y_original + Dph'; X_original and Y_original represent the coordinate positions before adjustment, while Dpw' and Dph' represent the distance difference that needs to be adjusted. In this way, the actual dimensions of the door and window openings can be accurately integrated into the wall projection lines, ensuring a seamless connection between the wall and the door and window openings.
[0095] Connect the adjusted points to form a new wall projection line, and check whether the newly generated wall projection line accurately reflects the actual size of the door and window openings.
[0096] Example 4
[0097] Suppose there is a door / window opening in a room, with widths of Lwdo1 = 1.0 meter and Lwdo2 = 1.05 meter, and heights of Lhdo1 = 2.0 meter and Lhdo2 = 2.05 meter. First, based on the width Wdo and height Hdo of the door / window opening, mark the actual outline boundary points of the door / window opening on the initial wall projection line.
[0098] Next, calculate the distance difference Dpw' in the width direction and the distance difference Dph' in the height direction:
[0099] Dpw'=|Lwdo1-Lwdo2| / 2=|1.0-1.05| / 2=0.025 meters;
[0100] Dph'=|Lhdo1-Lhdo2| / 2=|2.0-2.05| / 2=0.025 meters;
[0101] Then, based on the values of Dpw' and Dph', the initial wall projection lines are adjusted. For example, if the original coordinates of a reference point are (X_original, Y_original) = (3.0, 4.0), then the adjusted coordinates are:
[0102] X = X_original + Dpw' = 3.0 + 0.025 = 3.025 meters;
[0103] Y = Yoriginal + Dph' = 4.0 + 0.025 = 4.025 meters;
[0104] Connect the adjusted points to form a new wall projection line, and check whether the newly generated wall projection line accurately reflects the actual dimensions of the door and window openings. If any mismatch is found, further fine-tune until it is completely consistent.
[0105] Step 5: Design the floor layout according to the adjusted wall projection lines, ensuring the boundaries match the wall projection lines; specifically including:
[0106] A starting point is selected on the ground as the reference point for the ground layout. This reference point must be aligned with one endpoint of the adjusted wall projection line. Based on the shape and length of the wall projection line, the total length Lg of the ground layout line segment is calculated using the formula Lg = ∑(Xn - Xn-1)^2 + (Yn - Yn-1)^2, where Xn and Yn are the coordinates of two consecutive points on the wall projection line. This formula is actually used to calculate the distance between every two adjacent points (i.e., the straight-line distance between two points), and then all these distances are summed to obtain the total length Lg. In this way, the total length required for the ground layout can be accurately determined, ensuring the consistency between the ground layout design and the wall projection line.
[0107] Draw ground layout lines along the ground from the reference point according to the total length Lg, ensuring that each line segment is parallel to the corresponding part of the wall projection line and at the same distance, satisfying Dg = |Lwall - Lground| / N, where Dg is the maximum allowable deviation, Lwall is the length of the wall projection line, Lground is the length of the ground layout line, and N is the number of segments. This formula helps designers understand and control the maximum allowable deviation between the ground layout lines and the wall projection lines. By setting the maximum allowable deviation value Dg, the error between the ground layout lines and the wall projection lines can be effectively controlled, ensuring the accuracy and feasibility of the design scheme.
[0108] Check whether the ground layout lines completely match the adjusted wall projection lines. If a deviation is found between the ground layout lines and the wall projection lines, adjust the position or length of the ground layout lines according to the deviation value until they match.
[0109] Example 5
[0110] Assume that in a room, the adjusted wall projection lines consist of four points with coordinates A(0,0), B(3,4), C(6,0), and D(9,4). First, calculate the total length Lg of the floor layout line segments:
[0111] Lg=√((3-0)^2+(4-0)^2)+√((6-3)^2+(0-4)^2)+√((9-6)^2+(4-0)^2)
[0112] =√(9+16)+√(9+16)+√(9+16)=5+5+5=15 meters.
[0113] Next, select a starting point on the ground as the reference point for the ground layout, and ensure that this reference point is aligned with one end of the wall projection line (for example, select the starting point on the ground corresponding to point A on the wall projection line). Then, draw the ground layout lines along the ground from the reference point with a total length Lg, ensuring that each line segment is parallel to the corresponding part of the wall projection line and at a consistent distance.
[0114] To control for deviations, suppose we want the entire ground layout line to be divided into 10 segments:
[0115] N = 10;
[0116] L_wall = 15 meters;
[0117] L_ground = 15 meters (ideal case);
[0118] Dg = |L_wall - L_floor| / N = |15 - 15| / 10 = 0 meters;
[0119] This means that, ideally, there should be no deviation between the floor layout lines and the projected lines on the wall. However, in practice, there may be slight differences, in which case the position or length of the floor layout lines needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation until they match perfectly.
[0120] Step Six: Based on the aforementioned floor layout design, calculate the required quantity of flooring materials and create a list; specifically including:
[0121] Measure and record the length and width dimensions of each area in the ground layout design, and denote them as area L and area W respectively;
[0122] Based on the values of zones L and W, the area A of each zone is calculated using the formula A = L * W. This formula directly yields the area of each zone through multiplication and forms the basis for subsequent material estimation. The total area Attotal = ∑A is then summed to obtain the total area. By calculating the total area, the designer can fully grasp the total amount of materials required, ensuring the rationality of project budget and resource allocation.
[0123] Based on the standard dimensions of the selected flooring material, let the area of a single piece of material be Am. Use the formula N_material = A_total / Am to calculate the total number of pieces of material required, N_material. By calculating the total number of pieces of material required, material procurement planning can be carried out effectively.
[0124] N is ultimately taken as the final required quantity of materials, and a detailed list including the material name, specifications, and quantity is provided.
[0125] Example 6
[0126] Suppose a room has a floor layout design divided into three areas, with the following dimensions for each area:
[0127] Area 1: L zone 1 = 5 meters, W zone 1 = 4 meters;
[0128] Area 2: L area 2 = 6 meters, W area 2 = 3 meters;
[0129] Area 3: L area 3 = 7 meters, W area 3 = 5 meters.
[0130] First, calculate the area of each region, region A:
[0131] Area A1 = Area L1 * Area W1 = 5 * 4 = 20 square meters;
[0132] Area A2 = Area L2 * Area W2 = 6 * 3 = 18 square meters;
[0133] Area A 3 = Area L 3 * Area W 3 = 7 * 5 = 35 square meters;
[0134] Next, calculate the total area Attotal of all regions:
[0135] Total = Area A1 + Area A2 + Area A3 = 20 + 18 + 35 = 73 square meters.
[0136] Assuming the standard size of the selected flooring material is Am = 0.5 square meters per piece, calculate the total number of pieces of material N required:
[0137] N material = Atotal / Am = 73 / 0.5 = 146 pieces;
[0138] Considering potential losses and trimming needs, an additional 10% safety margin is added:
[0139] N_final = N_material * 1.1 = 146 * 1.1 ≈ 161 pieces (rounded up);
[0140] Finally, a detailed list including the material names, specifications, and quantities is provided:
[0141] Material name: Ceramic tile;
[0142] Specifications: Each panel covers an area of 0.5 square meters;
[0143] Quantity: 161 pieces.
[0144] By following the steps above and using simple mathematical calculations and physical measurements, designers can be effectively assisted in calculating the required quantity of flooring materials and creating a detailed material list.
[0145] Step 7: Based on the inventory list and the locations of door and window openings, generate an elevation layout drawing including doors and windows; specifically including:
[0146] Based on the material specifications and quantities in the list, mark the application area of each material on the wall in the design document; measure and record the distance from the edge of each door and window opening to the nearest material boundary point, denoted as Dlo (left distance), Dro (right distance), Duo (top distance), and Ddo (bottom distance), respectively; and use the formulas Pm = (Dlo + Dro) / 2 and Pt = (Duo + Ddo) / 2 to calculate the horizontal center Pm and vertical center Pt of the door and window opening relative to the wall layout; these two formulas are used to find the precise center position of the door and window opening in the wall layout.
[0147] Based on Pm and Pt, accurately draw the outlines of door and window openings on the elevation drawing and mark their dimensions; integrate the material coverage areas and the locations of door and window openings to form a complete elevation layout. This method allows designers to efficiently generate high-quality elevation layouts, ensuring the harmony and aesthetics of the design scheme. Simultaneously, it provides accurate guidance for actual construction, reducing potential errors and rework.
[0148] Example 7
[0149] Suppose there is a door or window opening in a room, and the distances from its edge to the nearest material boundary point are: Dlo = 0.5 meters (left side distance), Dro = 0.7 meters (right side distance), Duo = 1.0 meters (top distance), and Ddo = 1.2 meters (bottom distance).
[0150] First, based on the material specifications and quantities in the list, mark the application area of each material on the wall in the design document.
[0151] Next, calculate the horizontal center Pm and vertical center Pt of the door and window openings relative to the wall layout:
[0152] Pm = (Dlo + Dro) / 2 = (0.5 + 0.7) / 2 = 0.6 meters;
[0153] Pt=(Duo+Ddo) / 2=(1.0+1.2) / 2=1.1 meters;
[0154] Then, based on Pm and Pt, accurately draw the outlines of the door and window openings on the elevation drawing and mark their dimensions. For example, if the actual width of the door and window opening is Wdo = 1.2 meters and the height is Hdo = 2.2 meters, mark these dimensions on the elevation drawing. Finally, integrate the material coverage area and the locations of the door and window openings to form a complete elevation layout.
[0155] Step 8: Check whether all elements in the facade layout are consistent and harmonious. Save the design file after confirming that everything is correct. This includes:
[0156] The spacing Sij between adjacent material areas in the facade layout drawing is calculated using the formula Sij=|Pi-Pj|-((Wi+Wj) / 2), where i and j represent the numbers of the two adjacent areas, and Pi and Pj represent the position coordinates of the center points of the two adjacent areas, respectively. This formula is used to calculate the actual spacing by subtracting half of the width of each area from the distance between the center points of the two areas.
[0157] The distance Dk between the edge of the door / window opening and the nearest material boundary is verified using Pm and Pt to ensure that all Dk values meet the requirements of building codes. By accurately verifying the edge of the door / window opening and the material boundary, the accuracy of the door / window position can be ensured, while also complying with the requirements of building codes, thus improving the safety and compliance of the design scheme.
[0158] The overall layout of the facade layout is reviewed, and the consistency of the dimensions of each door and window opening is verified by comparing the dimensions of the outline of each door and window with the data recorded in the bill of quantities. This step ensures that the data in the design documents matches the actual situation and avoids potential size mismatch problems during subsequent construction.
[0159] Synchronize and update all verified data and adjustment results to the design file. After completing all checks and confirming that there are no errors, save the design file.
[0160] Example 8
[0161] Suppose that in a room, the elevation layout includes two adjacent material areas with center points Pi = 3.5 meters and Pj = 7.0 meters, and widths Wi = 1.0 meter and Wj = 1.2 meters, respectively. First, calculate the spacing Sij between the adjacent material areas:
[0162] Sij=|Pi-Pj|-((Wi+Wj) / 2)=|3.5-7.0|-((1.0+1.2) / 2)=3.5-1.1=2.4 meters.
[0163] Next, based on Pm (horizontal center) and Pt (vertical center), verify the distance Dk between the edge of the door / window opening and the nearest material boundary. Assuming the actual width of the door / window opening is Wdo = 1.2 meters, the height is Hdo = 2.2 meters, and Pm = 0.6 meters and Pt = 1.1 meters, then:
[0164] Dk (left side) = Pm - (Wdo / 2) = 0.6 - (1.2 / 2) = 0 meters;
[0165] Dk (right side) = (Pm + (Wdo / 2)) - Wi = (0.6 + 0.6) - 1.0 = 0.2 meters;
[0166] Dk(above) = Pt - (Hdo / 2) = 1.1 - (2.2 / 2) = 0 meters;
[0167] Dk (below) = (Pt + (Hdo / 2)) - Hj = (1.1 + 1.1) - 2.0 = 0.2 meters;
[0168] Next, the overall layout of the facade design is reviewed. The consistency of the door and window opening dimensions is verified by comparing the dimensions of each door and window opening with the data recorded in the inventory list. Assuming the door and window opening dimensions recorded in the inventory list are Wdo = 1.2 meters and Hdo = 2.2 meters, then they are consistent with the actual measurement results.
[0169] Finally, synchronize all the data and adjustment results verified above to the design file, complete all checks and confirm that there are no errors, and save the design file.
[0170] Through the steps described above, utilizing simple mathematical calculations and physical measurements, designers can effectively check the consistency and harmony of elements in the facade layout, and finally save the design file after confirming that everything is correct. This method not only improves the accuracy of the design scheme but also provides a solid foundation for subsequent design adjustments. Especially for spaces with multiple door and window openings, it offers a systematic approach to reduce errors and optimize the final design result. Furthermore, through repeated verification and adjustments, ensuring the consistency and harmony between all elements further enhances the overall quality and aesthetics of the design scheme.
[0171] In addition, this embodiment proposes a layout system for seamless connection between wall and floor materials, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes:

[0173] The door and window size calculation module is used to determine the location of door and window openings based on the initial wall projection lines, set marker points around them, calculate the door and window opening sizes based on the marker points, and record the results.
[0174] The ground layout design module is used to adjust the initial wall projection lines to meet the actual size requirements using the dimensions of the door and window openings, and to design the ground layout according to the adjusted wall projection lines, ensuring that the boundaries match the wall projection lines.
[0175] The facade layout generation module is used to calculate the required quantity of floor materials and list them based on the floor layout design, and generate a facade layout including doors and windows based on the list and the location of door and window openings.
[0176] The file saving module checks whether the elements in the facade layout are consistent and harmonious, and saves the design file after confirming that there are no errors.
[0177] In addition, each of the above modules requires other steps to achieve the above-mentioned seamless layout method for wall and floor materials, which will not be elaborated here.
[0178] In summary, this invention uses digital means to select a starting point and draw initial wall projection lines within the space to be renovated. Based on these lines, the positions and dimensions of door and window openings are precisely located. Then, the wall projection lines are adjusted according to actual needs, and the floor layout design is completed. This method not only improves design accuracy and reduces the possibility of human error, but also enables rapid response to design changes and automatic updates to the layout plan to adapt to new size requirements. Finally, by systematically checking the consistency of each element in the facade layout drawing and saving the design files, the entire process from preliminary design to final confirmation is optimized, improving work efficiency while ensuring the quality of the renovation.
