Attached is a screenshot showing a fraction that I "constructed" using several texts. How can I add a fraction in using the text tool?
Solved! Go to Solution.

For certain fractions, you can try typing the ASCII code.
¼ = ALT+0188
½ = ALT+0189
¾ = ALT+0190
That is hold the ALT key while typing the number.
Otherwise use the Character Map (it is a Windows Accessory) and you can copy and paste those characters.
But only those 3 fractions that I know of.

Thank you, Barry. Is there an ASCII code that helps with roof pitches? As you can see in the below copied screenshot, I used three text boxes to indicate the roof pitch (0.5/12). I have a fraction (1/2) in the nominator!

There are only those 3 ASCII codes that I know of.
It just means you can type ½ as one character instead of 1/2.
So the best you could do is ½/12
To have the text vertically above and below as you have shown, you will need two separate text boxes or one text box with a carriage return (enter) and set the top line with underscore style maybe?
I don't have Archicad running at the moment to try anything.

FYI:
You can create a fraction in Unicode by using a superscript code + fraction slash (U + 2014) + subscript.
Or you could just use a fraction generator site as in:

Just wondering, why would you put a fraction in a fraction and not just simplify it down?

It is a standard that we follow.

Thank you, Gerry, I would need to learn how to "code" in ArchiCAD. Could you share a tutorial?
My aim is to learn how to type the nominator as a fraction.
