Hi all, 

 

Does somebody knows how to change the height unit on a property label for a Ceiling Label, For now, is showing inches, but I want to represent it as Feet.

 

Best regards.

I would assume you don't want to change the Working Units... (Autotext values, unlike dimension units follow and display your working units)

I'd say: create a new expression Property that takes the elevation in inches, give it a formula to transform the value to feet and display that. You will get decimal places, not fractions though.
I'f you got some scripting skills, you're better off by scripting a Label to do that.

Hope it helps
