[Balstr] Advanced Baluster Layout Function
BuildCalc has three Baluster Layout calculation modes:
- Limit Opening: Calculate the number of members and their
locations with open space between members being no greater than an
input value you provide.
- Evenly Space: For a given run and number of members, calculate their layout and maximum open spacing.
- Best-Fit: Given a desired on-center spacing and run, calculate the layout that is closest to the desired on-center spacing.
For more information on input parameters, tap the on-the-spot help
at the bottom left of each input parameter cell.
Inputs to the [Balstr] function are shown in the "Input Parameters"
section and can be given by one of the three following ways:
- Taping on the parameter on the right of any cell in the "Input
Parameters" section. In the example below, tap on 12ft in the "Run:" cell to
change the run.
- Value stored in the [Run] memory function is automatically
input into the appropriate Input Parameter field.
- If values have been stored using the Store button (at the bottom
left), these values and results can be recalled using the Recall
button. Note that the Recall button will not be present if values have not been stored.
Note: The [Balstr] function is not available when BuildCalc's Advanced Function mode is "OFF" (via [Conv]
[Prefs]).
