Steps
- Totals, in the sidebar, has one row per flooring type on the current page, with its number of rooms.
- The first figure is what the rooms measure: lineal metres for Carpet and Vinyl Sheet, m² for everything else.
- Once a wastage is set, the line under it reads "+10% = …": the measured total plus wastage.
- Click a boxed type and enter its box size to see Boxes and Ordered: the boxes you buy, which always cover the total with wastage.
- Carpet shows the fit allowance too. Roll width minus fit allowance is the width it is laid at, e.g. 4 m less 0.1 lays at 3.9 m.
- Select a room to see its own figure in the room panel: Area for m² rooms, Linear metres for Carpet and Vinyl Sheet.
