I have a room that I wish to create ceramics tiles as floor. There are different sizes of ceramics in the market. I would like to know how to calculate for each different size of ceramics how many m2 or pieces do I need to buy.

Try ArchiTiles. You can do the full layout with interior elevations, specs, cutting list. Download the demo from http://www.cigraph-store.com

If you want to do it manualy, each of the tile types can be represented with a fill, that can automatically have the area text on. If you associate a property object stating that you have a number of pieces per sqm (e.g. 9 pieces of 33x33 cm tiles) you can calculate the number of pieces needed.
