Fixed Height Model (Legacy)

Introduction to the Fixed Height Model

A fixed height model is a collection of sizes, all of which are set to a nominated height per line measured in centimeters. e.g. Small at 10cm, Medium at 20cm and large at 30cm. For each size, the following parameters can be set The height The minimum amount of characters. The maximum amount of characters (optional) The number of lines of text allowed. The height for a single-line sign will always be the nominated height no matter the character count. However, the overall height for a multiline sign can vary and will be determined by The nominated height per line The natural height of the characters The distance between lines based on the font Here's a visual example with the nominated height set to 50cm. The tallest line, the capital letter M, will take on this number. The smaller letter m is shorter than capital letter M, therefore it is only a fraction of the nominated height - 37.84cm. In a multiline scenario, all lines will naturally scale from the tallest line. Combined with the space between the lines, calculated by the app to be 32.49cm brings the total to 120.33cm. This method allows the app to produce measurements in the most accurate way possible while maintaining a fixed height per line.

Pricing - Fixed Height Model

With a fixed height model, the price of a neon sign is determined by its size, number of characters, number of lines, and font. Here are two examples to illustrate how pricing is calculated.

Automatically switch to the next size up when character limit is reached

For our fixed-width and fixed-height models you can set a character limit per size. When a user enters in more characters on a single line that exceeds the character limit, our app will automatically change the current size selected to next size up if its available. This allows the user to create signs with the amount of characters they want for that line and not have to worry about character limitations as that can disrupt their design process and lead to frustrations. By default the setting to prevent this functionality from occurring is turned off, this means your users will have sizes automatically switched to the next size up when the character limit is reached.
