Interactive Schedule Units

I am trying to get my interactive schedule to display in feet and fractional inches, not decimal inches. Is there any way of doing this?

My head head is showing as 94.00". I would rather it show up as 7'-10".
Also, the jamb thickness is showing up as 6.56". I would rather it show up as 6 9/16".

I checked Project Preferences, Dimensions. I also checked Project Preferences, Calculation Units & Rules.

Maybe I am looking over it, but is there anywhere else I can look?

Thanks. The head height is now accurate, but I can't seem to fine Frame Thickness in the Scheme Settings, Fields. Is it called something else by any chance?

I might have the international version. Under "About ArchiCAD" button, there is a popup which reads "Graphisoft ArchiCAD 18 7007 INT FULL" I guess "INT" means International?

It might be, I am using the USA library and you have the INT library. It could help to go to the Settings for the Window you are using, change the Custom Settings to All Parameters, then find the name of the parameter that controls the setting you want to schedule. Then go to the Schedule > Scheme Settings > Fields and click the down arrow next to the Add button and select Add Object Parameters (the parameter you need is not a generic window parameter but a parameter specific to that window). Now navigate to the window you are using and find the specific parameter under Available Parameters and Add it, it will then be available in the Schedule Fields.

Yes, and you should add this to your signature, most would assume that with your USA location you are using the USA version, both application and library.

I know this is an older post, but make sure your calculation units are also set to fractional feet / inches.  OPTIONS > PROJECT PREFERNECES > CALCULATION UNITS.   This solved my scheduling display issues.
