How many parts does a 98 m² wall need?
A straight 12.28 m × 8 m wall (98 m²) with Layher Allround needs 227 parts according to ScaFix: 4 bays (4 × 3.07 m), depth 0.73 m, decks at 2.5 m, 4.5 m and 6.5 m and a scaffold area of 92 m². Corners, gables and stairs change the count; enter your own building for your own list.
The package
Wall area and scaffold area are two different numbers. Wall area is the wall you work on: 12.28 m × 8 m ≈ 98 m². Scaffold area is the face of the scaffold itself: 12.28 m long and 7.5 m from the ground to its top ≈ 92 m², not the sum of the decks. Here the scaffold area is the smaller one: the top deck is 1.5 m below the top of the wall, and the scaffold ends 1 m above that deck.

Why 12.28 m gets 4 bays
Layher Allround has one bay length in ScaFix's catalogue, 3.07 m, so the engine builds every wall of whole 3.07 m bays and picks the number that comes closest to the wall's length. 12.28 m is exactly 4 × 3.07 m, so the scaffold is exactly as long as the wall. On other lengths the scaffold ends up a little longer or shorter than the wall, as the table shows. Computed by the same engine at the same height (8 m); the difference is the scaffold's length minus the wall's.
| Wall length | Bays | Scaffold length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11.28 m | 4 (4 × 3.07 m) | 12.28 m | +1 m |
| 12.28 m | 4 (4 × 3.07 m) | 12.28 m | ±0 m |
| 13.28 m | 4 (4 × 3.07 m) | 12.28 m | −1 m |
