jcaffee Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 These are mostly site tools, but I've found many useful for various CA tasks. http://www.blocklayer.com/CalculatorDirectory.aspx and a bunch of other useful construction/design calculators... http://www.blocklayer.com/default.aspx And, if you're really anal (an engineer)... http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/ jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkClemons Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 It's also a little known fact that you can perform basic arithmetic in the specification dialogs of Chief Architect as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan_Son Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hmmm...Still kinda cool, but after running some tests, it appears you can only use + and - and that only one calculation can be performed at a time (i.e. 2"+2", NOT 2"+2"+3").

KirkClemons Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Yes, basic. I use it mostly for trying to move an object by a specific distance, instead of trying to go through the transform/replicate. Saves on clicks. Never run into a case where I needed to multiply, divide, or add multiple values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
