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.
