Does anyone know if there is a way to have a window schedule generate dimensions in different units than the project settings? I want to keep my project setting units in imperial, but have the window schedule in metric. I can do various "work-arounds", but it would be better for me to do it this way.

Thanks

I believe its doable. In the view properties for the schedule, under Formatting, Width and Height have a "Field Format" button to the middle right of the window. There you can unclick "Use project settings" and use whatever you like, such as Meters.

So it looks like YES the schedule can be in Metric and the project in Imperial. :)

You can even create new parameters to have both feet and meters in the schedule.

And if you wantto keep both"
- Create a new calculated field
- Use something like = Height * 1
- Change the field format as previously mentionned
