Ruby Script Help

[amddrafting]

I'm using the script below to make ceiling height indicators in the framing plan and the current output is

 

9 FT-1 1/8 IN

 

using this code...

nf = NumberFormatter.new

nf.unit = 'ft-in'

nf.use_fractions = true

nf.denominator = 8

nf.show_unit = true

nf.apply(room.ceiling_elevation)

 

I want it to output 9'-1 1/8" instead.

 

Is it possible to do this without extensive coding?

Nevermind... just found this exact example in the Ruby Script Tutorial   

 

height = room.ceiling_elevation - room.floor_elevation

 

nf = NumberFormatter.new

nf.unit = "'-\"" # Hyphenated feet and inches

nf.use_fractions = true

nf.apply(height)

@amddrafting… I'm not too familiar with Ruby scripts. Could you let me know where to enter this data?

Thanks in advance!

@CharlesYou need to create a macro and enter the script.

Thank you, I'll give it a try.
