We use FP Designer to create both Vertical Mount Resistors and Lay Down Radial Lead capacitors.

How Calculate pitch and height ?
No option in axial lead form calculator for vertical mount. It is available in LP calculator.. why not add in automatic library creation ?

The height is the axial lead body length plus the lead bend radius. That is suggesting that you're going to mount the body flush with the PCB surface. |

The pin pitch is 50% of the axial lead body round up to the nearest 1 mm or 0.1" grid (depending on if you design in millimeters or mil units. The total Height is the body plus the lead bend. Get a axial lead part and bend the lead how you want it and measure it. The Pin Pitch: Here is a screenshot from FP Designer and the grid display is 1 mm so the pin pitch = 3 mm  |
