Hey All,

Im on REVIT2013.

I have this formula that I have written based on the parameter unit type; length vs integer.

Can someone help in "neutralizing the units", so I dont get the inconsistent error? Neutralizing requires dividing or multiplying a parameter by 1. I have treid a dozen options with no success.

(Length - (Length * Integer)) / Length) * Integer = Integer

or aka

(Row Length-(Aisle Width * # of Aisles) / Seat Width) * Rows = Seat Count

 

Thanks

Erik

Since the result is an integer, each one of the length parameters in the formula need to be (Length/1') if it is imperial units, or (Length/1m), for example, if it is metric.

Thanks.

I got it to work as such.

(((Row Length / 1) - ((Aisle Width / 1) * (# of Aisles / 1))) / (Seat Width / 1)) * (Rows / 1) = Seats 

in normal language the intent of the simple equation is such ...

(Row Length-(Aisle Width * # of Aisles) / Seat Width) * Rows = Seats

Glad it worked, but it seems to me that you are simply dividing everything by 1 without thinking of the units. Why did you divide by 1 also the integer parameters if the result is an integer?

So im trying to get a result of Amps from the Volts and Watts parameters.  Ive tried to neutralize the units with " (Watts / 1) / Volts " but still get the inconsistent units error.

Any ideas?

PS - I know the image shows watts * volts which is wrong, but still wont run the formula.

Ok, got it.....

(Watts / 1A) / (Volts / 1A)
