Wall Schedule Question

My units are in inches for the plan work but the Wall Schedule also displays in inches for the lengths.

I changed the DBX using the NUMBER STYLE button in the DBX bit that length did not update to Feet & inches.

So do users have any control of the number format in the schedules?

That's too bad.

 

I did not see a way to insert custom fields in that schedule so a macro would not be possible?

 

 

You don't insert custom fields in the schedule.  You insert them in the wall.  You only display those columns in the schedule.

OK, thanks for the clarification.

 

I was able to add this:

begin
	wlength = (owner.length / 12.0).round(2)
	wlength.to_s
	rescue
	"Error"
	end

 

But it displays as "10.2 in" and needs to be feet.

What causes the "in" to display at all?

It's because length is a Measurement.  Either convert it to a float first with something like length.to_f or use the Measurement class to your advantage with something like length.to_ft
