Rounding dimensions

clauds1223 — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 15:31:53 GMT

Hi there, I'm at the end of the project and I would like to round the dimensions to the nearest 10, how would I do that?

This is how they currently look (I want the 5,887 to show as 5,890.

Operating system used: Windows 11

There is no rounding of dimensions.

If you want to show 5890 then you should model accurately as 5890.

You can use custom text, but then it will not change if you adjust anything.

Or you could change your dimension units to meters with 2 decimal precision, but then it will say 5.89.

in metric, you'd have to dimension to CM and leave off decimals; obviously not what you're going for.

...

I never round dimensions though. I've see too many instances of 10'-0 1/4" + 10'-0"=20'-0" in my dimension strings. That may be another (in the LONG list) argument against the imperial system.
