How do I change the lineal foot calculations to pcs?

 

ie. I buy 2x6 - 16 ft plate material not 700 lf.

 

Thanks in advance

You will have to change the formula to divide by 16 and call them pieces

Ok, got part of that. I get 16' ers' up to 16' but it doesn't break down long lengths 26'5, 32'. It reports an unavailable material.

 

Thanks again

Do you have a "Lumber Table " setup with a 2x6x16' in it?

[David Kauffman]

Yes, it doesn't shorten a long length down to 16', the system is looking for long plates i.e. 26'

[Philip Frank]

You have to specify the stock length you want to use (see highlighted in formula attached)

This is how mine works by getting lengths and doing coverage of 16
