Giraffe is in Metric (meters) by default. When your project is set to Imperial (feet), the engine does some work in the background to evaluate all of the distances and areas to convert them to Imperial. However, in Flow, the engine is often working with raw geometries where it is unclear what the correct Unit of Measure might be.
Inputs
Name | Abbreviation | Type | Access | Description |
Feet | F | Number | Item | A number, assumed to be representing a volume in cubic feet |
Outputs
Name | Abbreviation | Type | Access | Description |
Meters | M | Number | Item | The number converted from cubic feet to cubic meters |
How to
measure the volume of a geometry
You may do this using area * Height (via read feature property)
Or, you may simply want to input a number from number or Input Parameter
Add the To cubic meters node. Connect it to the number from the previous step
The output is the original number converted to feet via a multiplier.
1 cubic foot = 0.028316846592003196 cubic meters
