I am looking to be able to show the "length" x "width" x "height" parameters in the description box under properties so it shows up in the BOM. I already have these parameters established to drive the block size. I know it is possible, but I am not sure how to do it. Does anyone know how to set this up?

Teabags - create a formula using fx
scroll down to Product Description
add formula
you need to convert the length parameters to strings. This is where the ToString comes in. I have 3 parameters:SizeHeight,SizeWidth, and SizeLength. The /1.0in puts the "in" after the number in the property page.

(ToString(SizeHeight/1.0in)) + " X " + (ToString(SizeWidth/1.0in)) + " X " + (ToString(SizeLength/1.0in))
