I would post this in the builders section mate.

Chubbs will no doubt be along to tell you how to but don't believe a word he says, no-one else on this forum does.

On a more serious note ::) there are many websites that explain all this, it's a big subject - setting out - it depends on so many factors.

Is this a wall or paving you're doing?

Quote:

When a 90° herringbone bond pattern is used, a string line should be set up at right angles to the starting edge, and a "nose" of paving can then be advanced along it. When laying 45° herringbone pattern the laying face should develop parallel to the starting edge.

..not that it helps much.

You could try setting it out on a sheet of ply first, this will help you with any cuts you have to do.Then all the cuts will be ready before you start :)
