Area unit conversion problem

1

Hi,

I have a strange situation where summing area of rooms in Revit doesn’t give the same result as sum of area after unit conversion (which is a must if not using imperial, right?) in Dynamo. Any idea how to deal with this?

Hi,

You could change either your units in your schedule or the rounding in Dynamo.

I want to keep metric units in my schedules. What do you mean I could change rounding in Dynamo? As you can see both set of values are rounded in the same way although giving different results.

I think something is wrong in the Dynamo converter node, probably the conversion factor is not accurate enough.
I tried with Google and you get the correct number that’s displayed in the schedule
