Changing "glazing surface" from sq met to sq ft in

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:48:15 GMT

I'm suprised to find that my window and door schedules calculate glazing area in square meters, rather than square feet. In my preferences, calculation units are all English ft/in. How can I convert the schedule to square feet?

Are the area units also in sqft?

Yes, the area units are in sq ft. Everything under "Calculation Units" are set to English ft and in. Even under "Dimensions" and "Working Units", they are all set to English ft and in.
Mysterious, eh? What else could it be?

Could you tell us (1) what version of AC you are using and (2) how you are generating your schedule - via the Interactive Scheduler or by a Calculate list scheme. That would help.

Also, did you hand check the numbers: is it possible that the result is indeed square feet, but the legend is printing as square meters?

Thanks,
Karl

Yes, I'm using AC 7.0 (student version) running under Window XP, but I started to file under Windows 98. I'm creating the schedule using "window schedule settings" under Calculate. Is there another way?

I did check the calculations and it is definately outputting square meters.

I hope that helps you help me--and thanks.
