Does anyone know the best way to show Sqm and Sqf in Area Schedules?

Tags give you the option to show both, but schedules don't seem to do the same - is this correct?

Cheers

You can add a calculated parameter to your schedule to show both - convert sqm to sqf with a factor of 10.764.

Thanks Tim - this works, however I can't seem to get the 'm2' to either hide or be changed to 'Sqf'.

I get an 'Inconsistent Field' warning if I try  to change the field to 'Number' from 'Area'. Can this be fixed?

Either way, this is better than nothing!

Thanks again

You can format it to show sqft rather than sqm  - I forgot this - it will calculate this for you, so just have a parameter called Area sqf (=area) and overide the units to show sqf.

ahh, got it...finally.

For anyone else interested, you change the units in 'Field Format' under formatting for the relevant parameter.

Thanks Tim.
