      <description>&lt;P&gt;and it is not only that. There are massive differences between families of same category - naming, units, organisation etc etc.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Agree whole heartedly with you. 'kgf/m'&amp;nbsp; is a non-standard unit and is adopting the wrong unit for the value given. All steel tables relate to values in kg/m. Having to divide the result Revit gives you by the value of gravity is needless.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Screenshot 2021-05-18 103710.png" style="width: 439px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/919917i43D0A507BBDE3931/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screenshot 2021-05-18 103710.png" alt="Screenshot 2021-05-18 103710.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
