Products with varying lengths and prices.

Hallo.
I need some help to have some products in my store with varying lengths and proporcional prices.
For example, 5 pieces of tube with 1.234 mm. The price should be 9.5€ per meter and I need to increase a fix value for the cutting. (0,5€)
Please let me know if someone knows how can I do it.
Thanks
I'm working with the last version of Zen Cart, and the rest is standard.

Re: Products with varying lengths and prices.

Yes, thanks.
I've tried it with the attributes. I've created an option called Length, with the type Text (to allow customers to write the length they want), but I do not know how to set the price to be calculated from the value that the customer writes in the field.
For example:
3 pieces with 1,35 meters or 1350 mm.
If 1 meter cost 2 euros, 1 piece should cost 1.48€ and these 3 pieces 1.48*3=4.44€
Is it possible?

Re: Products with varying lengths and prices.

You will have to price it by the mm from what I can tell from your description and have instructions to add the t5otal number of mm desired to the cart

Re: Products with varying lengths and prices.

But with this way my costumer have a lot of trouble. If he wants 5 pieces with 920 mm. he need to add 5 times the product. In the way I'm thinking, he only have to add once: Qtt. =5; Lenght = 920 mm. Price per unit: ..; Total price: ...
