QSCadv4 Components enable users to measure one item and create many items based on user-defined formulae and logic.

​

To help new users get started, and experienced users save time, with Components we have created a number of Component Libraries that you can download and import into your version of QSCadv4 either to use as they are or adapt to suit your projects.




















The Default, Training and General Component Libraries are included free with QSCadv4, additional Component Libraries can be purchased and added to your system click here to request a quotation.

Each library includes a number of components together with a full explanation of each Component including all formulae and logic.

​

The Libraries of Components can be accessed from the Components Manager within QSCadv4 and include:

​

• Default Components Library*
  These simple Components enable users to turn a simple measurement into multiple useful measurements.
  
  This library includes Components for...

  • Length - Default  - measure a length specify the width and height/depth and get areas and volumes.

  • Area - Default - measure an area specify a height/depth and get the perimeter and volume.

  • Number - Default - measure an item specify the length, width and height/depth and get lengths, areas and volumes.

  • Curved Item with Radius - measure a curved length, enter the radius displayed by QSCad and generate results including the radius.

  • Simple Perimeter Add On - add a Perimeter measurement to any Area measurement and specify what should be measured using the Perimeter generated.

  • Sloping Surfaces - measure an Area flat on plan, specify the slope and generate the Sloping Surface Area and the Flat on Plan Area.
