    I have a project where I need to layout and apply sheeting to a wall or roof
    surface. The trick is that I need to lay it out on a surface that may have
    notches or offsets and the sheeting edges must align with these. The
    sheeting needs to be balanced across the surface so that none is cut at
    these notch edges except the first and last sheet on the whole surface. In
    the case that isn't possible the same amount must be cut at first, last and
    each notch edge sheet. The sheets are all rectangular and the long dimension
    is parallel the shortest surface dimension. I strongly feel the solution
    will resemble a Greatest Common Divisor solution. Does anyone have
    experience in solving a similar problem and can give me a hint how to solve
    this? The logic is my problem, drawing the layout is not.

    thanks
