volume calculation

One try more...

 

Hi,

 

trying to calculate costs depending on volumes I allways struggle with the same problem.

 

The attribute %total volume cost% claculated as %volume% * %cost per volume% never works, but sends the value of the volume or the value recognised as %$count% * %cost per volume%, depending on the atrribute selected in "extend from" (%volume% or %costs per volume%).

 

E. g. it is no problem to define %volume% as (%v% / 61023.744095) to get m^3 instead of inch^3, so it's no generell problem with attributes or substitutes.

 

What my be my probably mistake?

    So, after now having tried on this problem for about 5 hours, now only some minutes after posting, I found a solution. You need a Attribute for the volume-depending-costs of one singular komponent and the total costs extending from them.

     

    But now I see some new problems, e.g. wrong volumes for zylinders etc.
