Interactive software examples

Try a few STACRIFY capabilities

These examples show parts of the same workflow used in the software: measured PDF items, templates, sublayers, gross/net rules, openings, earthworks and Budget rows. Change the controls and see how the quantities react.

Earthworks

Bottom offset, slope and earlier earthworks affect net excavation volume

Adjust the excavation settings and see how gross, deducted and net quantities react when stripping, another excavation or road excavation overlaps.

Depth 1.20 m Bottom offset 0.50 m Slope angle 60 deg Net excavation Detected overlap

Budget result

Excavation gross0.00 m3

Detected overlap deducted0.00 m3

Excavation net0.00 m3

Bottom offset applies on all sides by default. Slope angle widens the top footprint with depth. Net deductions can detect overlap against earlier earthworks, including other excavations and road excavation areas.

Wall and openings

Door and window openings can link to a wall and control net quantities

Switch between gross/net logic and wall reveal input to see what reaches Budget.

Wall length 10.0 m Wall height 3.0 m Door width 0.9 m Finish sublayers use net area Linked wall has reveal/pale input

Budget result

Wall structure0.00 m2

Gypsum boards0.00 m2

Door opening0.00 m2

Door reveal rows0.00 m

The parent wall can remain gross while selected finishes use net area after linked openings. Reveal rows are created only when the linked Wall has reveal/pale input enabled.

Sublayers to Budget

One measured item can create several coded Budget rows

Choose which sublayers are budgeted and whether rows are joined or shown separately.

Wall structure row Board system row Paint finish row Join finish sublayers

Wall structure EF_25

Gypsum boards Ss_25

Paint finish Pr_35

Budget hierarchy

STACRIFY can budget sublayers instead of the parent item, and joined rows stay traceable in the Budget.

Standards and hierarchy

Choose or customise the coding structure that builds the Budget

A difficult part of estimating is keeping quantities, codes and budget groups aligned. STACRIFY lets the user select a standard hierarchy or create a custom one, then assign item and sublayer rows to the right level.

Classification Measured item Budget sublayers instead of parent item Rename group in custom standard

Selected hierarchy

Budget grouping

The same measured quantity can be grouped by Uniclass, ICMS or a company-specific standard without changing the geometry.

Offset command

Create a new Wall item from an Area boundary

Select an Area measurement, choose Offset, set the distance and create the result as a Wall. The original Area remains unchanged; STACRIFY creates a separate Wall measurement from the offset perimeter and asks for the wall setup.

Offset distance 0.30 m Side Wall height 3.00 m Wall type Footprint thickness 0.20 m Use net wall area and subtract linked openings Linked wall has reveal/pale input

Budget result

Offset creates a new measurement. The source Area stays as its own item; the new Wall can have its own code, height, footprint, wall type and opening rules.
