Tile wastage

Revit
1

Hi Everyone,

I have been using dynamo for a long time, but limited to only the nodes which are available.

I work for a contracting firm, we are not able to gauge the wastage and reuse of tiles. We did it manually a few time which is time consuming process.

I need to calculate the Tile wastage for a floor surface area and optimisze the layout to a min wastage or reuse all the tiles which are more than half.

first thing i tries was to extract the floor surafe and the surface pattern aplied.
Found out that , their isnt any way to extract the surface pattern of tile layout from revit to dynamo.

If any one has already worked on similar topic , kindly share the link

Any help regarding the topic will be appriciated.

The dynamo script i shared , works on first picking the surface and then picking the start point of the tile on the surface. With the Tile size mentioned.
