Description
Add side × half thickness to centerLineCoordinate for faceCoordinate.
Architectural quantities depend on dimension references, area boundaries, slopes, and construction allowances. A component calculation can describe a proposed geometry without establishing code compliance, structural adequacy, or buildability.
Add side × half thickness to centerLineCoordinate for faceCoordinate.
When to use this tool
Use Wall Center Line To Face Offset when you need one explicit architectural geometry component using a common measurement basis.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter centerLineCoordinate, wallThickness, side. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read faceCoordinate. Use the output convention below.
Require nonnegative wallThickness and side -1 or +1. Add side × half thickness to centerLineCoordinate for faceCoordinate.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| centerLineCoordinate | Center Line Coordinate | Required. Finite number. |
| wallThickness | Wall Thickness | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| side | Side label under the stated orientation convention. | Required. Safe integer. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| faceCoordinate | Face Coordinate | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Use a consistent axis and unit; this is one face offset without layers, tolerances, structural capacity, or an actual wall model.
- 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
Check the complete drawings, applicable requirements, and qualified design review before construction.
