Centres and spacings calculator
I just made an online calculator to work out stud etc centres, spacings and running measurements. You enter total length, max centres, stud width and selct between studs each end, stud 1 end or no end studs. I would apreciate any feedback on if its acurate, and set up OK, or what needs to be changed or added to make it better. It lives here

thats a god program. Just wondering why you would need it though? Shouldn't you just place the studs at 450 or 600 centres. Surely that is a bit easier when it comes to plastering. Not having a go, just wondering

The code comes from a program that calculates piers and panels in a fence. After using it the roof calculator http://www.blocklayer.com/Roof/ that evenly spaces the rafters to the length of the ridge, I thought there might be a need for a general centres calculator, maybe for rafters, bearers, railings, or anywhere you need to evenly space anything under a maximum value for a given length. I just called them studs because I couldnt think of anything generic. I really have no idea what standard stud centres should be, so thanks for pointing that out. But hey, I'm a blocklayer, so I got a good excuse for not knowing much.
