The surface covered (in percent) by the current layout.
This value is between 0 and 100.
This property tells you how good is the current layout.
Parameters
SheetIndex - the index of the layout whose information are extracted. This number is in range [0...TotalNumberOfUtilizedRepositoryPieces - 1].
SurfaceCovered - the surface covered (in percent) in the current sheet.
RepositoryIndex - The index of the Repository piece which is utilized in the SheetIndex layout. RepositoryIndex is between 0 and NumberOfRepositoryPieces - 1.

Remark
SurfaceCovered does not take into account the material wasted by the cutting blade. Thus, if the BladeWidth is greater than 0 the SurfaceCovered is always smaller than 100%.
