Re: Calculating the surface of the wall. .. not seen this last plugin page... Hope it works. If you search through the forum, you will find several attempts at making spreadsheets and calculations for sloping walls. Some of them referenced in thread 5953.In practice, however, my needs have really been how much paint to buy. Which is not that accurate a science, and guesstimates are often just as good as any calculations - just multiply average height with width of wall, and make a rough subtraction for windows and doors. Still there are some other calculations that can be a pain - wall intercept and roof angles. This Geogebra calculation can be used for quick calculations of the different wall figures by moving the blue dots. No rocket science, but possibly useful for finding some general numbers (I think reasonably correctly, but I am no mathematician). ok Wall length Height start Height end Roof length Roof rise Roof run (wall length) Roof slope Roof slope (x/12) Roof angle Area bottom part Area top part (triangle) Wall total area Intercepting wall distance from lower wall Intercepting wall height ![]() |
