Hi Jeremy et all:

 

As suggested by you, I have compiled a comprehensive list of (80) unit types and formatOptions groups and names and also included some notes as was obtained from Engineering team. The spreadsheet is attached with this email.

 

Regards

Saikat

hi saikat,

 

will you complete this exploration and provide a complete unit type matrix to us all when done?

 

sounds useful and interesting!

 

thank you!

Title:

 UnitType issues

Hi Matt,

 

Thank you for contacting Developer Technical Services.

 

I did a mapping of the list of unit types provided by you with the disciplines in RAC as well as RME. Most of the unit types listed below belong to the MEP flavor of Revit and thus, they did not throw any exception in RME.

 

The mapping details is included below:

 

- AreaForceScale - Structural

- DecSheetLength -

- Electrical Apparent Power _ Electrical

- Electrical Current - Electrical

- Electrical Frequency - Electrical

- Electrical Luminance - Electrical

- Electrical Potential - Electrical

- Electrical Power - Electrical

- Electrical Power Density - Electrical

- ForceScale - Structural

- HVAC * - HVAC

- Linear Force Scale - Structural

- Moment Scale - Structural

- Number -

- Pipe Size - Piping

- Piping * - Piping

- SheetLength -

- SiteAngle -

- WireSize - Electrical

 

As you can notice, there are about four unit types which I have not been able to map with corresponding disciplines and will now contact the engineering team for their inputs. I shall update you the moment I hear back from them.

 

Thank you for your patience.

Case History

*** NOTES THROUGH WEB 15/JAN/2009 20:39:50 By Matt Mason
API: ".NET"

"when attempting to get the FormatOptions for a given UnitType, I am getting exceptions for certain UnitTypes:

- AreaForceScale
- DecSheetLength
- Electrical Apparent Power
- Electrical Current
- Electrical Frequency
- Electrical Luminance
- Electrical Potential
- Electrical Power
- Electrical Power Density
- ForceScale
- HVAC *
- Linear Force Scale
- Moment Scale
- Number
- Pipe Size
- Piping *
- SheetLength
- SiteAngle
- WireSize

While some of these might be related to the fact that I am running RAC - it's not clear to me that all of these are based on Revit "flavor" issues.
Are some of these legacy or otherwise invalid types?
