AutoDalle is a specialized, Windows-based software program designed for creating random paving patterns (also known as Roman Opus or Indian Sandstone patterns) for patios, terraces, and floor tiling. It is geared toward both individuals and professionals who need to lay out mixed-size paving slabs or tiles in a consistent, random, and visually appealing manner. Here are the key features and details about AutoDalle:
Pattern Generation: The software generates random, non-repeating layouts using mixed-size rectangular slabs while ensuring that the gap between them remains constant.
No-Cut Technology: A key feature is the ability to generate patterns that minimize or eliminate the need for cutting, even with complex or irregular terrace shapes.
Material Optimization & Calculation: AutoDalle calculates the exact number of slabs or tiles required for a project. It can also work with “packs” of paving materials, aiming for the most efficient, cost-effective, and low-waste layout.
Customization & Compatibility: You can use pre-defined patterns or create custom ones by inputting specific slab lengths and widths (in centimeters or inches).
Technical Details: As of mid-2026, the program is a 13.6 MB download, runs on Windows, and supports multiple languages including English, German, and French.
Limitations: It is designed for “Opus Roman” type paving with coordinated dimensions; it is not meant for tiles without any size consistency.
If you’re trying to create a, say, 4-size patio layout, I can tell you that this software is often used for that specific purpose. How it handles complex shapes? How to calculate the cost using its packing feature? AutoDalle: Paving Pattern Generator
