What ScaFix supports
Checked against the app on 2026-10-06. "Partly" means the feature exists, within the limits in the note.
| Feature | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Walls from measurements | Supported | Length and height per wall, in metres or feet and inches. |
| Several walls with corners | Supported | Walls connect at corners, and the corner bays are shared between the walls. |
| Gable walls | Supported | Eaves on each side and the ridge height; the scaffold follows the gable. |
| Sloping ground | Supported | A separate ground height at each end of the wall. |
| Bays and lifts | Supported | Bay lengths from the system, lifts per bay, removing bays, extra bays, overhang and shifting along the wall. |
| Roof edge protection on pitched roofs | Supported | Guardrail 1 m above the roof plane by roof pitch; the parts are added to the list. |
| Walls from a PDF drawing | Supported | Choose the page, set the scale, trace the wall line and set heights. The PDF is not uploaded. |
| Automatic reading of the drawing | Partly | Suggests the scale and outline when the drawing allows it; otherwise you trace the walls yourself. |
| Angled corners (not 90°) | Partly | The PDF import and building from the map in Ultimate+ keep angled corners. In the wall editor a wall turns 90° left or right. |
| Wall ties | Partly | The number of wall ties follows the system's tie rule. Their positions must be checked against the manufacturer's assembly instructions. |
| LiDAR scanning | Partly | Only in the iPhone app, on devices with a LiDAR sensor. The web version does not scan. |
| Round corners and curved facades | Not supported | Not supported yet. |
| Silo and tank scaffolding | Not supported | Not supported yet. |
| Hanging (suspended) scaffolding | Not supported | Not supported yet. |
| Structural calculation and approval | Not supported | ScaFix is a planning tool. It does not replace structural calculations, the manufacturer's assembly instructions or the inspection of the scaffold. |
