Description
Return ideal door-undercut area.
Architectural openings and clearances depend on measured boundaries, projection axes and a caller-supplied comparison criterion. A positive geometric margin is distinct from demonstrating code compliance, safe access or a complete door-swing envelope. Plan lengths and projected dimensions must not be mistaken for full spatial measurements.
Return ideal door-undercut area.
When to use this tool
Use Door Leaf Undercut Area Term when checking the stated opening, projection or clearance geometry.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter leafWidth, gapHeight. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read area. Use the output convention below.
Return ideal door-undercut area. Require leafWidth/gapHeight >= 0; area = width*height.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| leafWidth | Leaf Width | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| gapHeight | Gap Height | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| area | Area in the common squared-length unit specified above. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- This rectangular area is not airflow capacity, fire performance, acoustic isolation or a compliant clearance determination.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use complete measured plans and a qualified architectural/engineering assessment with the applicable requirements for real construction or safety decisions.
