Protect important work first
If the project contains significant unsaved work and Save Project is available, create a .ra file before reloading, clearing the session, or making major changes.
Common issues
Footage is too high
Review layout dimensions, duplicate fence lines, and whether shared boundaries are represented correctly.
Concrete quantity is surprising
Check hole diameter/depth, post count, and bag or cubic-yard conversion assumptions.
Equipment cost is missing
Confirm the equipment row has quantity and unit cost.
Quick Dimensions and Plan Mode differ
They may use different sources of geometry. Verify that the same pens, runs, and assumptions are represented in both cases.
If the result still does not make sense
Return to the primary inputs and verify units, then open View Calculation Details where available. Compare the displayed formula inputs with the values you intended to enter. Next, remove nonessential Advanced assumptions and add them back one at a time.
If a map feature is involved
Check geometry at close zoom, layer visibility, and whether the correct feature is selected. A misplaced point or duplicate feature can materially change area, distance, or cost results.
If export or project saving fails
Use the shared Help Center articles for .ra project compatibility, browser downloads, PDF/Print, CSV, PNG/Map, and GeoJSON troubleshooting.
Planning note
Corral estimates are planning estimates, not structural or livestock-handling engineering certification. Final dimensions, structural design, fabrication, footing, gates, and equipment should be verified for the intended operation and conditions.
