DELTA systems compared head to head

Every pair of DELTA systems in the ScaFix catalogue: which bay lengths and depths they share, which only one of them has, and what the planning engine counts for each on the same example house, parts group by parts group.

How do the DELTA systems differ?

ScaFix has 2 DELTA systems: DELTA 73 and DELTA MODUŁ. On the same example house (11.4 m × 5.3 m), DELTA 73 needs 284 parts and DELTA MODUŁ 541. Both offer the 3.07 m, 2.57 m, 2.07 m, 1.57 m, 1.09 m, 0.73 m bay lengths.

Parts group by group on the same house

Each DELTA system planned on ScaFix’s example house (11.4 m × 5.3 m) with the default settings. The rows are the groups of the app’s parts list; «–» means the system has no part in that group. How the example is set up is on the methodology page.

Questions and answers

Can I mix parts from two DELTA systems in ScaFix?

No. ScaFix plans each wall with one system’s own parts and never mixes systems in a parts list. Whether two systems of one maker may be combined on site is for DELTA’s instructions to say. ScaFix is a planning aid, not a structural approval.

Why do the parts totals of the DELTA systems differ?

A wall is filled with each system’s own bay lengths, so a shorter bay means more bays, standards and ledgers; the depth changes the transoms and decks, and frame systems count frames where modular systems count standards and ledgers. The totals say nothing about price or load class.
