Help creating a parameter which can show current height of an element (Revit 2022)

[jsalinasD7N59]

Hello, I'm trying to create a power outlet family which can have a "text" that reports the current height of the outlet. I've tried by inserting an annotation type family which can report the values of a height associated via a formula. Whenever I try filling the required formula it says "Inconsistent Units". I was wondering ig there is a smarter approach for my issue.

Thanks

You can't. But what about a Tag?

Yes! That works even better, my only issue is that we usually work with feet and fractional inches, but when it comes to fixture heights we use inches. Is there a way to make the tag report that height in inches without modifying the overall project units?

By the way, many thanks for the solution!

Edit the tag label > format units > and change it to inches or fractional inches depends on your standards.
