Values multiply by 60

[Brendan_Cassidy]

i would suggest you look at getting revit lookup installed so you can interrogate the values behind the scenes, the reason behind this is to understand the factor difference between “value” and “value as string”(conversion for units)

See the following post i did a while back that helps to highlight this.

Structural framing Tekla values to Dynamo possible units issue

What seems to be happening is the kilonewtons value is being transferred between kilo newtons to feet for some weird reason(to Feet and see attached). But as a note the revit database saves all values in imperial units but the values you see( “As value String”) are how you decided to show units via project units. As you can see the value in the revit data base is similar to a metre to feet conversion of units but if you can access the “As Value String” you can get the direct value. …

To get around the issue you can divide the value just prior to putting it into revit parameter by the factor difference which in this case is 60.

Add the following to a Code Block:
a / 60
