SoftList- Multiple Plate Lengths Formula

"SoftList Formulas for multiple lengths"

Here is a formula that works for wall multiple plate lengths. It will calculate and report how many 16', 14', 12', 10', 8' plates for walls.

This is a custom formula type.

if length <8'
lumber (length / 16', thickness, height, 16', spruce)
else
if between (length, 8', 16') or length = 8'
lumber (1, thickness, height, length, spruce)
else
lumber (trunc (length / 16), thickness, height, 16', spruce)
@remainder = length - (16 * trunc (length / 16))
if @remainder < 8'
lumber (@remainder / 8', thickness, height, 8', spruce)
else
lumber (1, thickness, height, @remainder,spruce)
endif
endif
endif

Enjoy!
