Description
Return paverLength + jointWidth as repeatModule.
Spacing calculations place ideal points or modules within a stated geometric extent. End margins, row patterns, and partial border positions affect the count.
Return paverLength + jointWidth as repeatModule.
When to use this tool
Use Paver Joint Module Spacing when you need an explicit planting or paving layout-count term.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter paverLength, jointWidth, moduleCount. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read repeatModule, totalRun. Use the output convention below.
Return paverLength + jointWidth as repeatModule. Multiply paver length by moduleCount and add max(0, count-1) internal joints for totalRun.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| paverLength | Paver Length | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| jointWidth | Joint Width | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| moduleCount | Module Count | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| repeatModule | Repeat Module | Required. Finite number. |
| totalRun | Total Run | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Terminal joints are excluded and a zero count has zero run; joints, cuts, tolerances, and actual paving geometry are not optimized.
- 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 a complete site layout that includes boundaries, obstacles, growth, joints, and installation allowances.
