Help with Parameters

[matth]

How can i drive a parameter value with a condition on another parameter? For instance in pseudocode:

if (width < 40) then offset = 12, else offset = 6

I have read somewhere using a modulus and dividing by zero to achieve some effect of a boolean operator. but i am not sure how this would work in the condition above.  I would really like to solve this, the last thing i want is to have to abstract out 2 versions of this part to handle the condition.

I have found something like this, should I get it working I will update the forum.

This will help I am sure:

When trying I found I could not get ceil or round to work on my existing user parameter:

Thanks again,

47 in + ( ( sign(Width - 45.9 in) ) * 1 in ) * 12

If the difference between the width and 45.9 is negative than the value is less than 45.9 so 0*12 = 0. Else 1*12 = 12 add the value

Done! It works!
