Spoke length help for a wheel build

Hello, I'm trying to build a wheel (h+son SL42) and use a formula hub (TH50 model, 100mm). I do not have the formula hub yet. I was wondering if anybody can help me find the correct spoke length? I'm trying to do a radial lace. Thank you.

That is a good one, I also like this one for pure simplicity.

And DTswiss has a giant complicated mess of one that is good too (but overkill usually)

And just for practice I ran some numbers and came up with 249mm.

Thanks for the help guys. If I want to do a radial lace, it'd be 0 cross correct?
