how to - Fills show both Imperial and Metric & sq ft in CZE version

magdak — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 12:23:02 GMT

Hello,

is there a way to show Fills area size in both sq m as well as sq feet? Like it is possible for zones and dimensions in Archicad?

Additional question... CZE version of Archicad shows whole name "square foot" on the layout and takes a lot of space covering other important information... is it possible to change it inside of Archicad to show custom name = sq ft ? Thank you in advance!

Operating system used: Windows

For the second unit you can add a dimension label linked to the fill and set to show the surface in the unit you want.

For the name of the unit I don't think it's possible to change that, in France the text is "pied carré" so I think it's country version dependent.

Maybe with the INT Archicad version ?

Hi BrunoH,

thank you for answer, yes in the INT version, it works as "sq ft" but we do not use it, unfortunately. As for Fill, where can I add the dimension label? Thank you in advance.

edit: I have installed the INT version but when I open my file with it, some of the options are shown in English, but some of them still are in the Czech language, also, the sq ft I wanted to use, how to update the whole file to be in English. I have attached a screenshot below.

To add the labels :

1 - Activate the Label Tool, open the Tool options, select the dimension Label and adjust the settings to your needs.

2 -

Assuming you are not using Archicad 28 version,

for the options that are still in Czech language, I think this is because the project was began in that language version so the object libraries are the Czech one's.

You'll have to replace them by the INT libraries, but objects already placed in the project won't be automatically replaced by the INT version.
