Hi Alan, Usually, the stud scrap pieces are the portions of the stud remaining after the cuts. If I am not wrong, under 36" is considered scrap. If you have 8" studs, makes sense that the scraps default to 8" Patricia --> My website: www.punchhelpers.com--> My all in one e-book: Learning Punch Software (R): Training, Tools & Tutorials - Second Edition --> My e-book: Learning Punch Software (R): Basic & Advanced Training-Second Edition --> My e-book: Learning Punch Software (R): Importing, Exporting and Printing-Second Edition --> My e-book: Learning Punch Software (R): Power Tools-Second Edition --> My free e-book: Learning Punch Software (R): Mini - Tutorials --> My e-books free video presentation: Pat's e-books --> My Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/punchhelpers.links |

Hi Patricia,
Thanks for the response. However, my garage project shows 8 FEET as the default scrap value before the estimate is created. My 20x20 garage has 26 8 FOOT lengths of 2x4 wall studs in the scrap category. Seems a bit odd to me. Thanks.
Alan

Hi Alan, When you open the Estimator, a screen opens with the default values. The default value for scrap is 8 ft (see attached). This means the commercial size of the elements. You can change it, if necessary. If you check your project in live view - framing mode, you will notice that not all the stud elements go from floor to ceiling, therefore you'll need scrap studs.

Patricia, Thanks for the reply. I guess I will just leave the setting at 8 feet. You can not purchase studs at shorter lengths, so 8 feet is the minimum scrap value anybody should be using for a would frame project. Thanks again.

Patricia, As I get closer to getting my project underway, I am getting more detailed with the estimate for the contractor. I noticed the estimator tool does not include any figures for exterior sheathing/plywood. I can calculate it based on the square footage of the exterior wall surface, but I was curious as to why the program does not include it in the estimate. Thanks once again.

Hi there, You will notice a "wall insulation" field. As this is the "vertical base", you should include the plywood in this cost.
