GDL Object parameter unit (square meters, volume, etc..)

Hi everyone,

my question regards the measure unit of the parameters of a newly created GDL Object.

In my case I want a parameter representing the Area of a specific face of my object, so I want that parameter to have "m2" unit when I sum it in schedules.

How can I do?

Thank you very much

Unfortunately I don't think there is anything you can do.

Although you can make the parameter represent the unit of measurement that you want, it is really still just a number.

Numbers in schedules do not have units, so you won't get the unit of measurement in the schedule unless you add it to the title of the column/row.

Barry.

Hi Barry,

yes, it is what I did, I've created a parameter with Real number and gave it the unit (m2) in the title. Not too bad

Thank you for your reply! 😉
