Questions and answers

Where do the numbers in the guides come from?

From ScaFix's own engine, the same one the app uses, run on example buildings ScaFix made up. They are never a customer's project.

Are the guides free to read?

Yes. The guides, the glossary and the system pages are open to everyone. Planning your own walls with a full parts list needs a ScaFix plan.
