Compound & Simple Miter Function [CmpMtr]   Advanced Compound & Simple Miter Function

BuildCalc's version 2.0 Advanced Compound and Simple Miter Function is a bit different (and a lot simpler to use) than the Compound Miter function in earlier versions.  The biggest change is that the results are interactive - meaning that you can make changes to inputs without having to start your calculation from the beginning. Just tap on the parameter on the right of any cell in the "Input Parameters" section and then modify that parameter. 

However, for those familiar with older versions, [CmpMtr] works as it did before … but there is no need for the [SprAng] button.  So now you can enter the Spring Angle along with the number of Corners and the Corner Angle any time you wish in the Input Parameters section of the Compound Miter Function.

And one more thing.  Confused about how to layout Miter and Bevel results?  You're not alone.  Starting with BuildCalc 2.0, you can switch between Miter Saw results and Protractor "on the board" results (what you would measure using a hand held protractor).  No more confusion and super easy flexibility.

The Compound Miter function calculates the table angle (Miter Angle) and the blade tilt angle (Bevel Angle) settings using the Spring and the Wall Corner Angle.  In addition to interactively changing the input values of the [CmpMtr] function, Wall Corner Angle can be input prior to the press of the [CmpMtr] key using one of the following ways:
  1. Input Wall Corner Angle directly (if it is greater than or equal to 25°).
  2. Input number of room corners (if all of the rooms corner angles are equal and there are less than 25 corners).
