Gyeokja-bit-sal
This engine recreates Gyeokja-bit-sal, in which 45° diagonal slats are layered over a vertical-and-horizontal grid. The 井-shaped grid and the diagonal lattice meet on one surface, so each grid cell is divided again into four small triangles. As in the Bit-sal engine, cells are always fixed as squares, with vertical, horizontal and diagonal slats all drawn over them.
Slat Composition
| Slat direction | Angle | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical · horizontal slats | 0° / 90° | The same orthogonal base framework as Jeongja-sal |
| Diagonal slats A · B | 45° / 135° | Diagonal slats layered along the square cells' diagonals |
Door Tab — Main Parameters
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Hinged · Sliding / panels | Hinged 1–2 panels, sliding 1–4, 6 or 8 panels |
| Frame width / height | Wall opening dimensions (width 100–10,000mm, height 400–5,000mm). The outer panel size is calculated with the frame thickness removed. |
| Horizontal cells | 2–30. As with Bit-sal, this sets the number of square cells across; the vertical count is derived automatically. |
| Auto-fit frame height | When checked, the frame height is adjusted so the last row meets the bottom rail exactly |
| Left/right stile · top/bottom rail width | Outer frame width (mm) |
| Slat width | Base width for all slats, orthogonal and diagonal alike (mm) |
| Use transom panel | Adds a transom panel zone at the top when checked |
Specs Tab — Production Specification
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Frame / outer / inner width and height | Automatically calculated measured dimensions |
| Diagonal spacing | Spacing between the diagonal slats |
| Slat ink lines | Distance between orthogonal and diagonal slat intersections |
| Stile groove width | Groove width, calculated as a single value rather than separately for sides and top/bottom |
Member List
Ordered as frame members → horizontal and vertical slats → diagonal slats → transom panel (if used) → door frame. That is one group more than Bit-sal, since orthogonal and diagonal slats are each tallied separately. The surface area, weight & volume table further down works the same way as Se-sal — see the Se-sal guide for details.
Finish Tab
Choosing the wood, hardware and colors per part to colour (frame, stile & rail, slat, face) works the same as Se-sal. Pick Face as the part and you can click cells in the drawing to fill just those cells (Paint face color).
Example Uses
- Variations on the aja-sal (亞字窓) patterns of palaces and temples
- Changho for high-end hanok guesthouses
- Partitions for traditional craft exhibition halls
