JUMBO systems compared head to head

Every pair of JUMBO 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.

JUMBO around the example house, as ScaFix draws it in 3D.

How do the JUMBO systems differ?

ScaFix has 2 JUMBO systems: JUMBO and JUMBO System. On the same example house (11.4 m × 5.3 m), JUMBO needs 348 parts and JUMBO System 541. Bay length, depth and part design set the totals; they say nothing about price or load class. ScaFix is a planning aid, not a structural approval.

Pair by pair: bay lengths and depths

Each pair of JUMBO systems, from the catalogue the engine plans with. «Only in» lists the bay lengths one system has and the other lacks; the last column is the parts total of each on the example house.

JUMBO systems compared head to head
Pair	Type	Shared bay lengths	Only in the first	Only in the second	Shared depths	Parts on the house
JUMBO – JUMBO System	Different types: Frame / Ringlock (rosette)	–	3 m, 2.5 m, 2 m	3.07 m, 2.57 m, 2.07 m, 1.57 m, 1.4 m, 1.09 m, 1.04 m, 0.73 m	0.73 m	348 / 541

Parts group by group on the same house

Each JUMBO 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.
Parts group	JUMBO	JUMBO System
Frames and standards	60	120
Decks	32	33
Guardrails	88	96
Toeboards	32	32
Diagonals	16	8
Ends	16	16
Wall ties and fittings	64	40
Base jacks and legs	40	40
Ledgers and beams	–	156
Bays on the long wall	5	5

All parts	348	541

Questions and answers

Can I mix parts from two JUMBO 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 JUMBO’s instructions to say. ScaFix is a planning aid, not a structural approval.

Why do the parts totals of the JUMBO 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.
