Frame width in interactive schedule

See attached of a door schedule in v12. The frame width is shown in decimal feet (i.e. .44'). I have fiddled with the dimensions and tolerances in the project preferences every which way and that won't change it. I have tried different doors and sizes. Does anybody have ideas on how to fix this?
We used the same door schedule with v10 and didn't have this issue.

What settings did you try to influence this?
Also, is the Frame Thickness value coming from a parameter of he Door object?

I have tried changing the 'dimensions' under project preferences. See attached picture 2, its a screenshot of our company's standard settings, which also is what worked before in v10.
Picture 1 is a screenshot of the parameters set in the interactive schedule showing the 'Thickness' parameter for the frame width.
Now in the door settings, under the Door Frame options, I have the 'Frame Thickness=Wall Thickness+1" selected and the Door Reveal/Closure set to 'No Reveal'. This combination shows the door graphically correct on the floor plan and use to give me the thickness. When I unselect 'Frame Thickness=Wall Thickness+1" and put the frame thickness in manually it shows up correctly on the schedule, but the door frame doesn't show correctly on the floor plan, since it has 'No Reveal' and the door is in a stud wall.
Your probably thinking "just select the 'studwall' in the Door Reveal/Closure setting." I've done that and it gives me the same result, door shows graphically correct, but frame thickness doesn't.
Sorry for the long post, hope it is clear enough to understand.

Go to the Calculation Units page of the Project Preferences Dialog and show me what is set there for Length Units.
The page you show in your image influences Dimensions created with Dimensioning Tools, but not units in Interactive Schedules.

Ok, I changed the decimal feet to decimal inches in the Calculations Units and it gave me 7.25". Which, when exported to excel, becomes 7 1/4".
That will work for us, since we have an outside door guy do the schedule.
Thanks Laszlo.

You are welcome.
Too bad one cannot set fractional inches.
