Where did the quote come from ?
I am not sure what you are trying to do, could you be more specific?
P.S. What country is "Victor Archid"?

Use of this phrase: "Use the Conversion Unit pop-up at the bottom of the dialog box

from ArchiCAD Help gives various results of calculation. Why? Please help me.
It looks to me that the "calculate Units" dialogue box they are referring to is the one under
Options
Preferences
Calculation Units
What they are saying is that if you want the accuracy of your

Hope this helps
Is it spring in Belarus yet?

It seems to have done exactly as you asked: 1,000 liters is 1 cubic meter ... and so you show 169 liters or 0.169 cubic meters which is correct. It's just that AC put "m3" after the 169 instead of "l", which is wrong IMHO ... taking the "m3" fron the database component entry.
I just played around a little, and I can't see that the conversion unit flyout in the Edit Unit screen accomplishes anything. Perhaps someone else can explain it to us without us having to spend a few hours exploring...

How/where did you generate a schedule that looked like that?

Hoping to learn
