Since their object was open source, I modified it to allow for more flexibility. Would be nice to be able to Call loaded storey markers, but I could not figure out how to override the text...

Hi Ling,

I just came across this and I liked a lot. I have one difficulty: I can't get it to display the elevation levels in feet and inches. I set my Sea level as per the project's (feet), but the elev. levels are displayed in what I believe as meters (I just didn't do the conversion, sure thing it's not the feet and inches I'm looking for).
Any thoughts on how and if I can get it to display the way I needed?

 

Thx,

Oh... that would be an oversight by me, and probably GSSG, since we work in metric... will look into how to convert it to imperial sometime this week if I have the time.

What sort of precision is usually accepted? Fractional or decimal?

 

Update: Added the option for feet with 16th fractional inches and feet with decimal inches under the Level Prefix page. Accuracy can be adjusted with user modification of lines 216/218 and 430/432 for fractional and decimal respectively. Refer to the STR function in the GDL Reference Guide for modifiers.

Works perfectly! Thank you, Ling, I really appreciate it. 1/16 is good enough for me.
