Changing precision of SqFt in a custom room tag

I have created a custom room tag that adds SF.  How can I change the default precision to 0?  The default drawing precision is already set to 0.

Welcome to the community!

 

The Property Data Format assigned to a Property controls the precision with which it is displayed in a Schedule Tag.  What Property Data Format is assigned to your area Property?  What precision setting does that Property Data Format have?

 

If that Property Data Format is not set to a precision of 0 and it is used in other situations where the current precision needs to be maintained, you can make a copy of it, set an appropriate name, edit the precision in the copy, and assign the copy to your Property.  The out-of-the-box US Imperial content Area Property Data Format has the precision set to 0.

 

If that Property Data Format is set to a precision of 0 but that is not what you are seeing in the Schedule Tag, then something else is a play here.  Post a sample file with your custom tag that demonstrates the issue, so that someone here can take a look and sort out why it is behaving the way it is.
