"Inconsistent Untis" error when creating range based formula parameter

[rsmothers11493]

Trying to create an angle based family with ranges of angles. Every time I enter the formula it gives me "Inconsistent Units". I have tried the dividing by 1 and it does not fix.  Any suggestions?

Formula : if (cal_Angle < cal_Min_Angle, cal_Min_Angle, if (cal_Angle > cal_Max_Angle, cal_Max_Angle, cal_Angle))

Neutralize 'em.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have looked at these pages and actually this formula is based on that page of useful formulas. I have tried neutralizing it but this has no affect the error continues.

Post the file. I'll beat 'em into submission.

In your picture, the error message is hiding the value of "Angle". We can assume it is 115. But, is it 115 or 115°? in other words, is it merely a number or is it a degree?

It seems to me that it is a number, and that is why Revit says "inconsistent units" when you try to Apply changes; because you are dividing "Angle" by 2 and expecting that to be converted into the proper units for cal_Angle which is expecting a value in angles.

There isn't anything wrong with the long formula; the problem is in the short formula for cal_Angle. Therefore, the solution is this: For the cal_Angle parameter, enter this in the formula column: (Angle / 2) * 1°
