zone labels showing ceiling in linear dimensions instead of elevation dimensions...

Hi, 

I set up my zones showing ceiling heights which is what I care about. I would assume it will be shown in feets as american standards but it is showing inches. I understand that I can go to settings but the problem is that the ceiling height setting suppose to be under "elevation dimensions " BUT IT IS UNDER  "linear dimensions" (which I use for linear items!)

 Means if I change setting in Linear dimension to Feets, yes the ceiling height now change to feets in the zone, but also  everything else that I like to show in inches for linear items ... that's not how it suppose to act.

Zone Labels have their own Units that you can specify.

I don't know how about you but where do you see FEETS? Which is standard in United States to use for ceiling heights?  .... and unfortunately "project preferences" is tied to the general dimensions. Thanks!
