Cathedral opus setting out - Tile Advice

[Stu Brard]

morning all, I’m laying my first opus floor and was wondering what’s the best way to set out? I’m sure there’s a method that’s simple but I’m scratching my head a bit! Any help gratefully received!

Get your self a print out, lay out an area of the pattern dry and take some measurements and find the common measurements and use that to work it out it will give you a good start. What sort of area is it ?

So I think what @Localtiler is saying if its for instance 600x400 400x400 400x200 and 200x200 , 200 is the common number that each tile can be divided by so work to increments of 200 . Well thats how I do it if I got Andy wrong .

Another way which may help is to measure the room and relate that to the print out like this
