Return Value

All floating-point fields (float, double, XYZ, UV and containers of these values) will be internally stored in the metric system. You must specify the unit type (length, temperature, etc.) via this method for such fields. Conversely, all other field types may not have units. Do not call this method on those fields.

The dimension of the field (3 for XYZ, 2 for UV, arbitrary for array) extends the power of the unit type by allowing you to represent vectors of values of specific units. Each component will be converted independently. Using vectors to represent multiple independent values will work efficiently, but make sure the documentation is adequate.

The Get and Set methods will need you to specify the units in which your program works, as a DisplayUnitType. These units must be compatible with the UnitType. Revit will convert the stored values from/to the units you specify.

Use UT_Custom and DUT_CUSTOM to explicitly disable conversions for a field.
