Ceiling Height and Finish Floors in Zone Stamp_2 19 (and newer)

[Anonymous]

Can you change the units from inches to feet and inches for the Ceiling Height in Zone Stamp_2 19? I cannot seem to do it.

Also Finish Floor seems to be stuck in Meters. I cannot change these things. I've tried everything.

I'm wondering about this too - Anybody else running into this problem?

Gabriel,
I have merged your duplicate posts.
Best to keep to just one post on the same topic so the answers stay in one place.

It looks like the Ceiling Height units are set in the Project Preference > Calculation Units & Rules > Length Units, which only has decimal feet or decimal inches as options. The Finish Floor units are set in the Project Preference > Dimensions > Level Dimensions.

Thanks for the tip on the ceiling height David. However, the finished floor level is not resolved. I had triple checked that the units were set in correctly in the Project Preference > Dimensions > Level Dimensions before I posted. It seems that whatever you input into the height value is in meters and then gets converted to feet on the stamp? I think this is a serious bug somebody missed. Am I missing something??

I am also seeing this and looks like a bug. When I originally looked at this issue, I had the Automatic Value checked, so the Finished Floor Level is read from the base height of the Zone (set under the Name and Positioning panel) and is showing the correct units there. Is there a reason you are not using the Automatic Value?
