Ceiling Height and Finish Floors in Zone Stamp_2 19 (and newer)

Can you change the units from inches to feet and inches for the Ceiling Height in Zone Stamp_2 19? I cannot seem to do it.

Also Finish Floor seems to be stuck in Meters. I cannot change these things. I've tried everything.

Gabriel,
I have merged your duplicate posts.
Best to keep to just one post on the same topic so the answers stay in one place.

Barry.

GabrielG:

It looks like the Ceiling Height units are set in the Project Preference > Calculation Units & Rules > Length Units, which only has decimal feet or decimal inches as options. The Finish Floor units are set in the Project Preference > Dimensions > Level Dimensions.

Thanks for the tip on the ceiling height David. However, the finished floor level is not resolved. I had triple checked that the units were set in correctly in the Project Preference > Dimensions > Level Dimensions before I posted. It seems that whatever you input into the height value is in meters and then gets converted to feet on the stamp? I think this is a serious bug somebody missed. Am I missing something??

I am also seeing this and looks like a bug. When I originally looked at this issue, I had the Automatic Value checked, so the Finished Floor Level is read from the base height of the Zone (set under the Name and Positioning panel) and is showing the correct units there. Is there a reason you are not using the Automatic Value?

Hi All,
We have entered a bug about this issue. The project at hand is a large one, it is planned to be fixed in ARCHICAD 20.
Thanks for letting us know, k

Options > Project Preferences > Calculation Units

Change your Length Unit from decimal inches to what you want to see...feet and fractional inches, or feet and decimal inches.

Note: This solution was posted below on November 19, 2015 by David Maudlin ... 5 posts back in this thread. Glad you found the right thread for your question - but always best to read all of the posts. Your answer may already be there. 😉

Also, since I gather from your various posts that you're new to Archicad... read the online help to be sure you understand the difference between Working Units and Calculation Units.

I am having this issue in Version 25

Re: Ceiling Height and Finish Floors in Zone Stamp_2 19

Eric Milberger — Sun, 29 Aug 2021 21:54:58 GMT

i already have it set up with this. Feet & fractional inches
It was not giving me decimal inches but a ht of 144" rather than 12'-0"

I did find this as an issue in versions 17-20 but quiet after that.
Not sure but I know I will run into a discussion here as the guys on site will not be used to something different and will have trouble with this.

Hi Eric,

Thank you very much for the question!

I tried with Archicad 25 USA 3002 on both macOS and Windows but failed to reproduce what you experienced. Using the default template, I managed to get the Ceiling height to appear as feet and decimal inches

Maybe this happens only on certain files? Could you reproduce the issue on a brand new file?
Best regards,
Minh

As Minh did, my post below was a reproduction in AC 25 USA. The stamp does follow the calculation units.

Eric - by any chance are you viewing the stamp on a drawing on a layout ... rather than a view. When you change working units while a plan view showing the stamp is displayed, the units in the stamp change immediately. If you are on a layout, then perhaps you do not have that drawing set for auto-update. (Or, perhaps auto-update does not recognize a Calculation Units change... and you need to manually update the placed drawing.)
