Centers and Spacing results are rounded to nearest 1/32", so multiplying Space by number of spaces may not result in exact Total Length.
Use the Running set out lists to mark out Baluster positions, as these points are rounded as they go.
Set result Fraction Precision in dropdown under running list.
Spacing Results are Rounded to 1/32"

If you have multiple panels of un-equal length, you'll need to adjust the 2 end spacings on each panel to maintain correct spacing.
Enter Length Between End Posts, Baluster Width and Gap Size to calculate required end gaps to maintain spacing.

If you're cutting blocks, concrete, stone or
ANYTHING
and there's
DUST - DON'T TAKE THE RISK
Don't cut it, or cut it wet so there's
NO DUST
-
Silicosis Sucks
And if you're cutting wet, wear a mask - there's dust in the spray mist too!

What do we think? - They're 2 different things:
A
Meter
is a device to measure things - like a Volt Meter or a Parking Meter
A
Metre
is about 3'-3~3/8"
Although diameter and perimeter as measurements - don't seem to fit very well
If the U.S. ever goes Metric, you'll be able to use a Meter to measure Meters - A Meter Meter
(And when we go
back to the moon
to Mars, this time, let's go Metric, ay?)
GO Artemis II !! (thats 2, not eleven - and Artemis is Metric, not Imperial, no matter what they say)
