Frequently asked questions

Does this tool design the work?

No. It counts what a set of dimensions requires. Ratings (thermal, wind, fire, structural), series, hardware and fabrication details come from the manufacturer’s data and the drawings.

Why can I edit the profile, sheet, bar or module values?

They depend on the system and the maker you choose. The values shown are only starting points, never a manufacturer’s reference.

How are the quantities rounded?

The waste percentage is added first, then what has to be bought is rounded up to whole bars, sheets, panels or cabinets.

What is the cap (casquette)?

The cap is the closing box that fills the gap between the wall cabinets and the ceiling.
