Macros to convert inches to feet & inches?

[BrianSmith]

Using preset macro "%room.height.ceiling%" to add ceiling height to Room Labels.

Does anyone know how to change this from inches to feet & inches?

 

While we're at it... anyone know how to have the "%room.dimensions%" macro show from framing instead of finished drywall?

 

Thanks.

Try this macro

• room_ceiling_ht_ft_in.json
• You might want to adjust the rounding within the macro.  It's currently set to 1/16"

This is the one we use for the ft-in:

 

obj = owner

obj = referenced unless referenced.nil?

nf = NumberFormatter.new

nf.unit = "'-\""

nf.use_fractions = true

nf.apply(obj.room.ceiling_height)

I don't think you can. Some of these macro gurus might be able to direct you on how to create your own macro.

You could try something like this:

%(room.dimension1+1.in).to_s("'-\"")% x %(room.dimension2+1.in).to_s("'-\"")%

its not set to anything because you didnt provide your global number formatter

Correct.

Here's my set_Globals macro.  It can be placed just about anyplace that will be executed early.
