How does S-LINE calculate TOP and BOT longitudinal bar spacing?

Hoping to confirm how S-LINE auto calculates its TOP and BOT bar spacing as I have noticed a difference in the extracted value and my hand calculation.

By hand I have calculated this spacing by:

( Beam width - (2 x cover) - (bar quantity x bar size) ) / (bar quantity - 1)

Note: I have not included the stirrup diameter/size because I am using a cover that is from the face of the beam to the face of the primary reinforcing.

Perhaps S-LINE includes "interior" stirrup legs and that is where the difference is coming from...

Thanks in advance!
