Formula in family - inconsistant units

[tonyisenhoff]

I would like to create a new parameter...

The Parameter name is "Tons of Rebar", which has a format of lbs. and Type is set to a number.

The formula is something like this: = Volume * 200

I"m getting inconsistant units... (because of the two different formats, volume and number I think)

Does this make sense??

Is there a workaround?

Try setting another parameter (using the same number type), called say Vol, then set Vol=Volume, and then in your formula Tons of Rebar=Vol*200.

I mispoke!

I should have said set Vol=Volume/1
This will strip the cu. ft. units.

and you don't have to set up the additional Vol parameter. Just do Tons of Rebar = Volume/1*200
