Typing measurements
- Type the number, then the unit key: 12 ft 6 in 3 / 8 gives 12' 6 3/8".
- A number after ft with no unit is inches: 12 ft 6 is 12' 6".
- A fraction on its own is a fraction of an inch: 3 / 8 is 3/8".
- A number with no unit is just a number, so 12 ft × 2 works and 12 ft + 2 does not.
- Feet times feet gives square feet; three lengths give a volume. Tap the answer to change units.
- Hold m for centimeters and millimeters.
Fractions round differently than expected
Answers round to the fraction set in Settings (1/8, 1/16, 1/32 or 1/64). The math underneath keeps full precision, so a chained calculation stays exact even if a step displays rounded.

What the tools assume
- Stairs: risers split the total rise evenly; defaults are a 7 3/4" maximum riser and a 10" tread (IRC). Check your local code.
- Rafters: line lengths from the ridge plumb cut to the outside of the wall, half the ridge thickness already deducted, hips and valleys for equal pitches.
- Concrete: bag yields are the printed ones, 80 lb = 0.60 cu ft, 60 lb = 0.45, 40 lb = 0.30. Order ready-mix with waste; count bags without it.
- Board feet: nominal sizes unless your yard prices by actual size.
- Studs: wall length divided by spacing, rounded up, plus one; corners and openings are yours to add.
