displaying both m² and ft²

[gbrowne]

It would seem a simple problem, but I can't set up a room tag with both metric and imperial annotations. The seemingly unchangable preset for square feet is SF, which looks rubbish, especially since I have m² for metric. Needless to say imperial measurments annoy me.

OK, shoot me down.

It is straight forward enough. Mull over this room tag. You are correct about SF though so I have butchered things to a better appearance from your perspective.

Yea you stuck regular text in there, with the tag right justified.
Very clever Mr Bond, but that's cheating!

So does this cross over to a wishlist item?

I think this should be a Project Setting, where we can input whatever we want our units to read: SF, SqFt, Sq. Ft., ft², m², or whatever we want. I think this should also be true for the "diameter" and "radius" annotations. I've always heard this as a big complaint, not only against Revit, but AutoCAD and ADT as well.

I was pondering this and it does need to be altered. How is it dealt with in non-English speaking markets? Or does everyone use the same basic terms?
