Which StepUp Scaffold scaffold systems can ScaFix plan?

ScaFix models 3 StepUp Scaffold scaffold systems: StepUp RingLock, StepUp Cuplock and StepUp Frame & Brace. They cover ringlock (rosette) scaffolding, cuplock scaffolding and frame scaffolding, with bay lengths from 0.91 m to 3.05 m. Each is planned on your own walls by the same engine as the app.

StepUp Cuplock	Cuplock	3.05 m, 2.44 m, 2.13 m, 1.83 m, 1.52 m, 1.22 m, 0.91 m	1.52 m, 1.22 m	–
StepUp Frame & Brace	Frame	3.05 m, 2.44 m, 2.13 m, 1.83 m, 1.52 m, 1.22 m	1.52 m, 1.07 m, 0.91 m	–

StepUp Scaffold systems on the same example house

Each system planned on ScaFix’s example house (11.4 m × 5.3 m) with the default settings. The totals differ with bay length, depth and part design; a lower total is not better by itself. How the example is set up is on the methodology page.
System	Long-wall bays	Depth	Parts in total
StepUp Frame & Brace	5	0.91 m	350
StepUp RingLock	5	0.73 m	565
StepUp Cuplock	5	1.22 m	573
