Can someone advise how to make this work? I have a church pew family with a Halfwidth length parameter to make it stretchable from the center. In the schedule I get the Pew length multiplying Halfwidth by 2. Then I specify a Seat Length to divide the Pew Length, but can't make the formula work to get the Number of Seats per pew to get a count. In the family editor I get the message that units are not compatible, and in the schedule I can't refer to other parameters.

Thanks,

You need to make it a calculated value. See the attachement

(Pew Length / Seat Length) +.5

Round to nearest integer

The calculated value needs to be an Integer Type.

It could also be (Pew Length / Seat Length) - .5

- .5 rounds down to the nearest integer (so you don't squeeze the paritioners)
+ .5 rounds up to the nearest integer (they might be a little uncomfortable during the longer sermons)

Thank you both. I used -.5.
