How to use Equal-gap Member Layout Planner
Measure each flat clear opening and actual member width in one common unit. Enter a count or null for the smallest positive count allowed by your maximum gap. Check both gap bounds and inspect every exact start, center and end position from the left datum.
- Use the example as the schema; replace its labels and entered model assumptions.
- Measure each flat clear opening and actual member width in one common unit. Enter a count or null for the smallest positive count allowed by your maximum gap. Check both gap bounds and inspect every exact start, center and end position from the left datum.
- Calculate, inspect the complete witnesses and limitations, then copy or download the JSON report.
Good to know
- Up to 30 openings, 1,000 members per opening and 5,000 positioned members total. Positive span/width up to 1,000,000; nonnegative gap bounds with minimum no greater than maximum. All dimensions are six-place decimal strings.
- Straight one-dimensional geometry only: no stairs, structural support, post-width deductions, sphere test, code or safety approval. Exact fractions should not be cumulatively rounded during a real mark-out.
- Local calculation with no upload, input persistence or outside lookup. Model JSON is limited to 30,000 characters and 10,000 values. Decimal quantities are strings with up to six places; count fields use plain JSON integers. Exact fractions are capped at 8,192 bits. The complete JSON output is limited to 1,000,000 characters; approximate numbers preserve their stored values. Unsupported states fail explicitly.
Common questions
What does an infeasible opening mean?
The entered count leaves negative space or violates the entered closed gap bounds. For automatic count, the smallest count reaching the maximum gap is tested; any larger count only reduces that gap, so it cannot repair a failed minimum gap. This result concerns the entered geometry alone.
Are my model inputs saved or sent to a server?
No. This model runs in the current browser tab and creates a local JSON download. It does not save your input or call an external data service.
