Frame width only. Extra inter-frame spacing of 30 mm (1.2 in) is required.

Weights listed for the Lx5 frames include the accessor, IMC, side doors and side panels. After
the initial library installation, these parts can be moved to other frames within the library
string, which shifts some of the weight to other frames.
