Project Option: SF Instead of sq ft (USA)

Another very simple and basic request:

I might be missing something, but I haven't found an option to display SF, sf, sqft instead of sq ft. This should be a project setting, controlling zones, fills, schedules, calculations etc. If it were part of the dimension settings then we would even have the option to have different profiles for different views.

AFAIK, there is not one single unit abbreviation that can be used in the industry (as m2 for square meter), therefore Archicad should make all these options available for the user to choose. We prefer the humble SF/sf, than the 5 character long "sq ft", which makes zone tags especially difficult to fit. On markups PMs asked several times to change the unit abbreviation on schedules, and I always feel second-hand embarrassment telling them that there is no reasonable way to do that.

In AC29, we now support turning off the units display for totals/grand total, and give you the option to manually type in your own units (as a prefix and/or suffix).

@James B Do we have options to tailor units for zone stamps?
