Formula and assumptions
How this calculation works.
Fit complete measured bead runs into selected stock lengths, keeping each continuous run unspliced. Each cut = measured run + supplied cut/end allowance; decreasing-length first fit packs cuts into stock.

Render trim stock lengths: 2 lengths
Continuous-piece packing uses decreasing-length first fit. It is feasible for the stated pieces but is not guaranteed optimal. No cut kerf, damage or end trim is assumed; include these in your supplied piece lengths. Each run uses one continuous piece; bead profile and corner detail must already be chosen.
Before you purchase
Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.
All product dimensions, coverage, density, allowances and joining rules must come from your supplied plan or selected product. No building-code values are inserted.
