A simple extension calculates the surface area of a rectangular duct reducer. The length of reducer is digitized on the drawing. The height and width at each end is entered. The square foot surface area of the reducer is calculated. The description for the measurement is automatically updated to reflect the size. Click here for […]
Joist extensions offer special powerful features. The area to be covered is digitized. The joist spacing and joist width are entered. The length rounding is selected from a list. A pitch can be specified for sloped joists such as roofs. You can then: Rotate the joist orientation to any angle Move the starting point for […]
A simple extension can be used to calculate the volume of rock, mulch or other ground cover for irregular shaped areas. You can digitize the perimeter using individual points and/or by quickly generating arcs. Then input the material depth and the cubic yards of material is calculated. The enclosed area is also available if needed. […]
