Light-Gauge Steel Stud and Track Takeoff
Light-gauge steel studs and track for a partition: studs = ceil(wall / spacing) + 1 + openings x extra; track = 2 x wall (top and bottom runners). A 50 ft partition at 16 in on center with two door openings is 43 studs and 100 LF of track; at 24 in on center the field studs drop and it is 30 studs on the same 100 LF. The spacing sets the field count, the openings add on top. Distinct from the wood residential-framing.
Formula and source
studs = ceil(wall_length_ft / (spacing_in/12)) + 1 + openings x extra_per_opening; track_lf = 2 x wall_length_ft.
Steel stud/track takeoff identity by name (field studs from wall over spacing, plus one and the opening allowance; track twice the wall); first-principles count arithmetic.
