Split walls into surfaces — and measure in feet

Break one wall tile into named surfaces with their own sizes, type measurements in feet or inches, and see exactly what a re-analysis changed.

Split walls into surfaces — and measure in feet

Some walls aren't one wall. A shower might have a full-height back wall, two shorter side walls, and a half wall by the bench — each a different size, sometimes a different tile. Open the surface editor, hit Split into surfaces, and you can break "Shower walls" into individual named surfaces (Back wall, Left wall, Right wall, Half wall — the names are suggested for you), each with its own dimensions and finish. The tile's headline number adds them up automatically; if the real total should be different, flip on adjust total and type it — the tile shows "adjusted from N · reset" so it's always clear where the number came from.

Measure however you think. The measurement editor now has a feet/inches toggle. Type 8'6", 8.5, or 102" — whatever's natural — and BidCraft reads it. It defaults to feet, and your preference sticks across your devices. Custom surfaces also let you pick how they're measured: square feet, linear feet, a count, or inches.

Your words are kept word-for-word. Say "the back wall is 8 by 4" in a note and BidCraft stores that width and height exactly, instead of squashing it into one square-footage number. Name your walls out loud — "back wall runs full height, the side walls stop at the tub" — and it builds a separate surface for each, split out and ready to price.

See what a re-analysis changed. Run a fresh analysis and anything that changed or turned up new rides to the top of the confirm box as one-tap chips — "Shower walls — Back wall: 96 → 104 sqft." Tap ✓ to keep it and lock it in as yours. No more re-checking every tile to spot what moved.

Smaller touches. The "+ Add" menu picked up a More surfaces section (Ceiling, Accent wall, Wainscot, Tub surround, Window sill, Threshold, Baseboard, and more), you can remove a surface right from its editor, Large format (24"+) is now a standard tile size, and rooms fold down to a tidy one-line summary when you've got a few of them. Everything that used to say "pieces" now says "surfaces."
