Sometimes i do little equations in the value input boxes of sops. However, when i need to control the order of operations with perentheses, it gives me an arror.
how should i work around this issue?

For example, in the ray sop, I might want to do an equation like “(@Cd + @area) * 3”
But I can only do “@Cd + @area * 3” because when I add the brackets, it gives an error.

Using:

(@Cd + @area) * 3

works for me with no error, maybe just put down a new ray sop and try again.
