1. Separate the measured area from the court
Record the clear floor rectangle and obstructions. Playing dimensions, venue run-offs and user-entered clearances remain separate layers.
2. Use one versioned geometry dataset
Each court record stores source metadata, measurement conventions and painted line segments. The same segments render the SVG and produce the nominal line take-off.
3. Read the take-off convention
Line runs are summed without deducting paint overlap at crossings or corners. Product coverage, coats, surface factor and a visible waste allowance remain separate purchasing inputs.
4. Do not invent a tolerance
The set-out tool reports target diagonals and measured differences. Acceptance belongs to the approved project drawing, venue standard or survey instruction.
5. Verify and retain
Check current rules, the intended level of play, floor system, coating data and safety documentation. Retain the approved drawing, line schedule, product, batch, conditions and maintenance notes.
