Setting Parameter Discipline, Type, and Grouping
The Discipline drop-down list in the Parameter Properties dialog box
contains the different disciplines that can be assigned to a parameter.
Parameter discipline is important for defining the measurement units that
the parameter value will have.
Figure 6.4
shows the drop-down list of
available disciplines.

Parameter discipline options
The Type Of Parameter option in the Parameter Properties dialog box is
directly related to the chosen discipline. Each discipline has a unique set
of parameter types that relate to the various units of measurement for that
discipline.
Figure 6.5
shows the Type Of Parameter options for the Common discipline.
Notice that many of the types are the same as in the Project Units settings
for the Common discipline of a project, such as Length, Area, and Volume.
