Corner Bead / Drywall Trim Takeoff

The drywall accessory the sheet/mud/screw tiles skip: one full-height bead per outside corner, two legs plus a head per wrapped cased opening, waste, and a stick count that takes the LARGER of the LF math and the one-stick-per-run floor - bead is not spliced mid-corner because a splice telegraphs through the mud. 9 corners at 8 ft on 10-ft stock is 9 sticks, not 8. Mud and tape are the drywall tile; wood casing is trim-linear-footage.

Formula and source

corner_lf = corners x height; wrap_lf = openings x (2 x height + width); total = (corner_lf + wrap_lf) x (1 + waste); sticks = max(ceil(total/stock), one-stick-per-run count).

Straight takeoff arithmetic with one trade rule encoded - bead is not spliced mid-run - so the stick count takes the larger of the LF division and the per-run floor. No standard claimed.
