Hi

I am making a Schedules for metal flashings that i have added to my project. I have not had any problems using shared parameters to get the length of my line based families and everything is working fine.

But now comes the tricky part. I need to somehow add a parameter that would roundup my real lengths to my production lengths. f.eks i have couple flashings that are 2569mm And what i would like the schedule to show is that I have couple of 3000mm flashings.

Is anyone getting me?

I have been reading about formular but havent really found the answer so i was hoping somone here could help?

Regards

Sigurjón

You have to do a little bit of unit manipulation with a formula, but you can force the rounding to a specific increment. Below is an example.

Parameter Name        Value          Formula                                                        

TrueLength          |  2569 mm  |  = 

RoundedLength  |  3000 mm  |  =  roundup(TrueLength / 500 mm) * 500 mm

The above parameter, "RoundedLength", will return the value of "TrueLength" rounded up to the nearest 500 mm.

Quick question.

I am using 2011 version, which doesn't have the "roundup" function. Is there any way to do that in 2011?

I believe that you can. I don't currently have 2011 to test with, but this should work. You will need to add a third parameter as an Integer to force the number to round. This will also add a little extra formula work to force it to specifically round up.

Parameter Name        Value          Formula                                                                                                                                               

TrueLength          |  2569 mm  |  = 

IntegerLength     |  5              |  =  TrueLength / 500 mm

RoundedLength  |  3000 mm  |  =  IntegerLength * 500 mm + if(IntegerLength * 500 mm < TrueLength , 500 mm, 0 mm)
