Description
Return facade module-width remainder.
Building quantity takeoffs depend on inclusion/exclusion rules, repeated modules, joint placement and material thickness. Net area and ideal layer resistance are limited model quantities; actual fit, heat/moisture behavior and construction performance require the full assembly and measured material properties.
Return facade module-width remainder.
When to use this tool
Use Facade Module Remainder when checking the stated material, layer, module or takeoff convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter availableWidth, moduleCount, moduleWidth, internalJointWidth, leftEdgeJoint, rightEdgeJoint. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read remainder. Use the output convention below.
Return facade module-width remainder. Require nonnegative dimensions and whole moduleCount >= 0; subtract module widths, max(0,count-1) internal joints and both edge joints from availableWidth.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| availableWidth | Available Width | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| moduleCount | Nonnegative whole module count; both supplied edge joints are deducted even when count is zero. | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| moduleWidth | Module Width | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| internalJointWidth | Internal Joint Width | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| leftEdgeJoint | Left Edge Joint | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| rightEdgeJoint | Right Edge Joint | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| remainder | Remainder | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Edge joints are still deducted for zero modules; negative remainder is retained without establishing actual layout or safe installation.
- 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 drawings, specifications and suitable assembly/material analysis for actual procurement, hygrothermal performance or construction.
