Check out this easy way to calculate the number of balusters you need & find their on-center spacing 🛠
1️⃣ Enter the length of the handrail and divide by the total of the max gap and baluster width.
2️⃣ Round down to get your number of balusters and multiply by the width of each baluster.
3️⃣ Subtract that number from the total handrail length. Then divide by the number of balusters + 1. This gives you the distance between each baluster from center to center.
⚠️ make sure you add one to the number of balusters because you will have one more spacer than you do baluster.
4️⃣ Add width of baluster to that value and push M+ to store in memory
5️⃣ Subtract half of the baluster width
6️⃣ Push + ➡️ RCL ➡️ M+. Then press the ＝ button repeatedly to toggle through all of your on-center baluster positions.
