Hey there.
I have a function I'd like to create but I'm not sure how to do it.
I am calculating the length of studs in a new residential building. Assuming a stud per foot perimeter including waste, the calculation is easy enough. I've subtracted my gable end walls (the walls with a peak above, aka, two small triangles), so I'm left with only an 8' stud quantity.
I would like to add in my sloping studs.
Assuming a 30' length at a slope of 10/12 and 8' walls, this will give me a height of 12.50' in the gable only, a run of 15', and a sloped length of 19.80'.
12.50 / 15 = 0.83 approximately.
So my formula would be the 8' height + 0.83' / foot until the peak of 20.50' is reached, and then mirrored again to go down the gable to the other end of the 30' wall.
I need the quantities separated by stud lengths (8-10', 10-12', 12-14', etc in 2' increments up to 24')
I would rather have this integrated into my main stud formula, though adding the values to a chart so I can manually add them where appropriate would not be so bad either.
I've included my excel file. The calculation falls under any of the exterior stud calculations, with references to sheet 2, B55:60.
Thanks for any help
