Method of Calculating Shrinkage Area in EasyCeiling

Shrinkage is applied to sides, not to the area.

Example:

Let's say we have a ceiling 1 m × 1 m (area 1 m²)
If shrinkage is 8%, then:

• If reducing area directly:
  1 m² × 0.92 = 0.92 m²
  (this method is incorrect, but often calculated this way manually)

• If reducing sides:
  1 m × 0.92 = 0.92 m
  1 m × 0.92 = 0.92 m
  Area: 0.92 m × 0.92 m = 0.8464 m²
  (this method is correct, and it is used in EasyCeiling)

🔧 How it's implemented in EasyCeiling:

The program always recalculates by sides taking into account the shrinkage coefficient for X and Y. This allows achieving a realistic shrinkage area, especially if the coefficients are different for different directions.
