Revit (Metric) and Dynamo (Imperial)? - R2020 D2.3

1

Hi,
How do I change Dynamo to Metric?
All my Revit Units are metric millimeters, but Dynamo nodes use imperial feet?

Manual input in revit:

You will have to convert them in your graph. There are nodes to help, or just do the math manually.

I have always been able to input millimeters… Besides the API, it should not be necessary to convert to feet in Dynamo.

It’s not Dynamo, Revit uses inches under the hood.

I know, but it has never been necessary to convert to imperial units. Dynamo normally follows the units used in the Revit project…

Problem solved!
The DynaMEP package also have a node called Element.SetParameterValueByName… Same name, inputs, and output. This node does NOT follow the Revit units like other packages, it uses imperial units!!! :frowning:
