Inserting assets based on their (physical) size

The goal is to insert assets from a pool, depending on their (physical) size. The pool of assets is seen in the following image. Colors are (only) used to visually emphasize the size ratio.
Note: Note that small parts get blue assets while large parts get red assets.
