Diferences area (m2) zones vs list zones with rounded measures

arq_luis_correia — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 20:15:15 GMT

Hello all

I have a problem, i use zones to get my measures of this ploot, total 201.92 m2

Now i configurethe area measure with "5" rounded measure, and i get 201,90m2

Dnd it works great in layouts i get a nice rounded área but in the listing i get the "real" área:

Is possible i have the rounded área in listing ?

Best Regards

Operating system used: Windows 11

The rounding is only for dimensions and it seems you zone stamp/label is using the dimension preferences.

Schedules us 'calculation units' and there is no rounding there.

All you can do is reduce the decimal accuracy to force rounding.

But you will not see 2 decimal places any more, just 1.

Hi,

As Barry said, the schedule uses the "Calculation Units" not the dimension preferences. Change your units here for the schedules:

But this way, the sum of areas will still be based on the whole number, regardless of the rounding applied. To get around that, you can create an expression defined property, that would take the area, and turn it into a rounded number.
