Hi All, My son fits out new houses with cupboard shelving. He does all his measuring and comes back with data something like:
0.9 metre lengths x 8 1.1 metre lengths x 5 1.4 metre lengths x 11 1.8 metre lengths x 6 2.2 metre lengths x 12 He can only buy shelving in standard lengths - say 1.8m, 2.4m, 3.0m, 3.6m He spends a lot of time figuring out how many of each standard length to buy to minimise waste and cost. Can XL do this? Any pointers on where to start? Regards - Dave. _________________________________________________________________ It's simple!
