Rough sill height for windows

[Leadcarpo]

Hello, I am tweaking our door and window schedules, to better inform our framers, and I have found that we can add a bottom elevation to a window. The issue I am having, it that the number is the finished elevation, and I want it to be the rough elevation. Is there a simple way to modify this macro to make the number show as rough? 

 

%bottom_elevation%

Isn't the R.O. sill height lower than window bottom by half the additional height R.O. margin in the framing tab?  Sounds like there is math involved.  Why bother?  

 

We can include header height and R.O. W X H in the window schedule.  How much more does a framer need?

Yes, all you need to do is apply some math within that macro. Better yet would be to use the Ruby console in order to find additional data for that specific object.

This is what I use:

RO Sill Height:

%bottom_elevation-rough_opening_clearance_gap_bottom%

 

Quite simple actually.
