OLAN systems compared head to head

Every pair of OLAN 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 OLAN systems differ?

ScaFix has 2 OLAN systems: OLAN Euro+ and OLAN R+. On the same example house (11.4 m × 5.3 m), OLAN Euro+ needs 292 parts and OLAN R+ 565. Both offer the 3.07 m, 2.57 m, 2.07 m, 1.57 m, 1.09 m, 0.73 m bay lengths.

Pair by pair: bay lengths and depths

Each pair of OLAN 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.

OLAN systems compared head to head
Pair	Type	Shared bay lengths	Only in the first	Only in the second	Shared depths	Parts on the house
OLAN Euro+ – OLAN R+	Different types: Frame / Ringlock (rosette)	3.07 m, 2.57 m, 2.07 m, 1.57 m, 1.09 m, 0.73 m	–	1.4 m, 1.04 m	0.73 m	292 / 565

Parts group by group on the same house

Each OLAN 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	OLAN Euro+	OLAN R+
Frames and standards	60	120
Decks	32	33
Guardrails	48	96
Toeboards	32	32
Diagonals	32	16
Ends	8	8
Wall ties and fittings	40	64
Base jacks and legs	40	40

Questions and answers

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

Why do the parts totals of the OLAN 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.
