Lookup tables in Revit are CSV files that are used to reference values from an index. Although they typically occur in families like Pipe Fittings, they may be used in any family.
One of the facts about lookup tables is that they are unable to be used for many types of variables. Can one work around this limitation? Is it possible to input values from the lookup tables as lengths, then to convert them into alternative values instead? Power read as mm from a pump curve and then converted to Watts, for instance?
The answer is yes, and you can use this to great effect in your families form here on. Simply divide and multiply the quantity by units that convert the value to the unit of measurement needed.
