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.

Door Tab — Main Parameters

ItemDescription
Hinged · Sliding / panelsHinged 1–2 panels, sliding 1–4, 6 or 8 panels
Frame width / heightWall opening dimensions (width 100–10,000mm, height 400–5,000mm). The outer panel size is calculated with the frame thickness removed.
Horizontal cells2–30. As with Bit-sal, this sets the number of square cells across; the vertical count is derived automatically.
Auto-fit frame heightWhen checked, the frame height is adjusted so the last row meets the bottom rail exactly
Left/right stile · top/bottom rail widthOuter frame width (mm)
Slat widthBase width for all slats, orthogonal and diagonal alike (mm)
Use transom panelAdds a transom panel zone at the top when checked
Gyeokja-bit-sal has no zoning settings like Jeongja-sal's "vertical ratio" or Se-sal's "top/middle/bottom layout." Diagonal density is not a separate setting — it follows from the horizontal cell count and slat width.

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).

Pushing the horizontal cell count too high packs the orthogonal and diagonal slats densely together, which can make the piece difficult to actually build. Export a PDF and check the measurements.

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
