Calculation method
Calculation method
Per-course cut sequence (mm)
Subtract supplied corner prefix and its joining joints; fill full units then a positive final edge cut, accounting joints.
Cut length quantities [mm,count]
Aggregate equal cut lengths across courses.
Total brick material length (mm)
Sum all cut lengths excluding joints.
Symbols and units
- a
- JSON Approved course pattern [course ID,finished wall run mm,corner-prefix piece lengths mm]
- b
- Full brick unit length (mm)
- c
- Specified vertical joint (mm)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Derives full-unit and residual cuts after an explicit externally approved per-course corner prefix. User must provide correct bond prefix/thickness detail; no bond standard invented. Supported limits: Up to 100 courses; run>0, 0≤joint<unit, maximum 10000 cut pieces.
