Metaltech systems compared head to head

Every pair of Metaltech 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 Metaltech systems differ?

ScaFix has 2 Metaltech systems: Metaltech Saferstack and Metaltech Saferstack Mason. On the same example house (11.4 m × 5.3 m), Metaltech Saferstack needs 318 parts and Metaltech Saferstack Mason 330. Both offer the 3.05 m, 2.44 m, 2.13 m bay lengths.

Pair by pair: bay lengths and depths

Each pair of Metaltech 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.

Parts group by group on the same house

Each Metaltech 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 Metaltech 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 Metaltech’s instructions to say. ScaFix is a planning aid, not a structural approval.

Why do the parts totals of the Metaltech 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.
