I am making a lavatory mirror family with a visibility parameter for a shelf.  I want the bottom mirror frame width to be wider (7/8"Winking when the shelf is visible, and the frame width to be 1/2" otherwise.  In Family types, in the formala column for the parameter "Bottom Frame Width" I created the conditional statement IF(Shelf=1, 7/8", 1/2"Winking.  Shelf is a yes/no parameter linked to the visibility parameter of the shelf. It won't work, and the format is exactly as shown in the Revilt help file for conditional statements.  Error Pic attached.

 

Thank you.

Funny thing is The opposite paramter works.  If I type the formula <Bottom Frame Width=7/8"> in the formula column for the parameter Bottom Frame Width, It works just fine.  I create a family type and if that the parameter is 7/8" the shelf appears, otherwise it doesn't.  Why would this work, but not the other.  It's a bit like the tail wagging the dog.  Please help if you can.
