Window Schedule Units

I'm having a bit of an issue with the unit precision that displays in my window schedule. I am using Marvin Windows, with frame sizes of 2'-1 3/8" wide x 4'-0 3/8" high or Half-Round with 2'-1 3/8" W x 1'-0 11/16" H. I need these dimensions to show correctly in the window schedule, but it always rounds to 1/2" or 3/4" instead of the 3/8" or 11/16".

After searching through the forums, I discovered and changed the project preferences > dimensions settings to the 1/16th inch precision that I need, and that worked fine for the schedule to show correctly on the Project Map, but once placed into the Layout Book, it reverts back to the 1/2" and 3/4" rounding. Is there some other way to change the unit precision of the Layout Book independently of the Project Map that I am missing?

We tried to get the Marvin download files to use instead of the default ArchiCAD library parts, but it is a .pla file and anytime we try to open it on our Start Edition it gives us an error that "START edition cannot read this document version. (10.0)."

You need to redefine the view of the schedule so it has the precision settings you want.

Beautiful. I completely missed the "modify source view settings" option in the right click menu. Good thing I'm still learning...

Thanks so much.
