Controling bit depth of raster in FGDB format

[ChrisSnyder]

I've noticed an annoying issue that when I do raster math on a 32-bit float raster datasets , the output (if in FGDB format) has the bit depth get upped to 64-bit. Other than using the CopyRaster tool to copy it back to a 32-bit float format, is there any way to control the bit depth? As far as I know there is no geoprocessing envr setting or spatial analyst function that does this... but seems like there should be!

Welll...well... well all I can say is if you would stick with the metric system... you wouldn't have this problem ... no wonder I have never seen it before ... coming from Canada and all, Eh 

Meters to Feet conversion

I was actually thinking of converting my units to chains to really throw things off.

BTW: according to your converter, 1m = 3ft 3³⁄₈in. I think this output is intended to mock the U.S. system.
