Surface Area
The program indicates the surface area of the respective parts in relation to the total length.
The surface area is determined from the Surface of the cross-sections. You can find and
check the relevant entry in the cross-section information, available in table 1.3 and tables
2.1 to 2.5 (see Figure 2.12, page 18).
Volume
The volume of a part is determined from the cross-sectional area and the total length.
Unit Weight
The Unit Weight of the cross-section represents the mass in relation to the length of one
meter. For tapered cross-sections, the program averages both cross-section properties.
Weight
The values of this column are determined from the product of the entries in column C and G.
Total Weight
The final column indicates the total weight of the respective part.
Sum
At the bottom of the list, you find a summary showing the sums of column B, D, E, F and I.
The results output in the Tot Weight column gives information about the overall timber
mass that is required.

Figure 4.10: Table 4.2 Parts List by Set of Members
The final table is displayed when you have selected at least one set of members for the design.
It offers you a summarizing parts list for an entire structural group, e.g. a chord).
Details on the table columns can be found in the previous chapter 4.9. When different
cross-sections are used in the set of members, the program averages the surface area, the
volume and the unit weight.
