Why this plan wastes 9.5 %
Each row starts half a piece further along, so every row ends in a cut. The offcut from one row end is about what the next row needs to start, so most of it is laid; the 9.5 % is mainly the strip ripped off the last row and the ends too short to reuse.
The same room in another pattern
The planner opens with this room already laid. Change the size, the pattern or the material and every figure is counted again.
