    Default Adding parameters to system families

    Hey all,

    I'm attempting to add a parameter that queries the total length of a pipe system. I see that there's already a value that shows the volume so I figured it should be easy enough to do so but since it's a system family i'm not sure how to go about doing so, since they aren't readily modifiable.

    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Default Re: Adding parameters to system families

    I have created a pipe schedule in my project. It has, I believe, what your looking for. I have in it the fields, mark, system name, diameter and length. sorted by system name and mark with the totals selected. So 1 system that has several different pipe sizes within it shows that my 1" pipe has a total length of 1661' 73/4" and the same system 3" pipe has a total of 42' 4 1/2". This shows the same throughout all my systems and pipe sizes per system. Perhaps this will help you as well. Schedules can be made into reports showing whatever you want to show. You may have to maneuver and play around with the fields and sorting and such to get exactly what you want to see but i believe this is the information you are looking for.
