Rounding to certain number multiple

eyadthebest — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 19:28:34 GMT

hello,

I wan't to ask if Revit have a function that can round a formula output to the nearest multiplier of a number such as (26 cm ,52, 78, 104 etc)

the formula is a family parameter,if the output is 27 then it rounds it to 26

and if the output is 62 then it rounds it up to 78 etc...

thanks

round(a / 26) * 26

where "a" is a variable - user input.

Invaluable reference to keep handy:

The rounding examples are not consistent. 27 to 26 is rounding down, 62 to 78 is rounding up even though 62 is closer to 52 than to 78.

yes sorry i meant like 68 to 78

as some rounds up and some rounds down to the nearest interval

thanks

yes, that's why @ToanDN has it preset in his signature... 😉
