How to add a unit to an existing quantity?

[jasekiw]

I am trying to add a custom unit for our project that should go under ElectricResistivity. It is MeterPerSiemens (m/S) and is a 1 to 1 conversion to OhmMeter.

I tried following the documentation below however it only gives examples on how to add a custom quantity with units. I want to add a unit to an existing quantity (ElectricResistivity), not a new one. https://github.com/angularsen/UnitsNet/wiki/Extending-with-Custom-Units

How would I go about adding a unit to an existing quantity? Once that is determined, I think the documentation should be updated to include the instructions.

Hi, I've added some more info to the top of the wiki page. In particular, why adding units to existing quantities is currently not feasible.

Please take a look and let me know if it helps or how it could improve further: https://github.com/angularsen/UnitsNet/wiki/Extending-with-Custom-Units

@angularsen Thank you for the section in the documentation. It makes it much more clear. Seeing as it's not possible to add a unit, would this unit be a candidate to officially add it to the library? I don't want to go through the effort of creating a PR if it is going to get denied. Thanks!

Yes, that sounds reasonable to add. Please go ahead with the pull request, just follow the instructions in the wiki and ping me if you have any questions. 👍
