Analyze > Takeoff > Area unit in sq.m without decimals

[Anonymous]

Hi! I'm trying the QTO Manager Tool to compute a simple area.

I used a .csv file with lines like that:

Pay Item,Item Description-USC,UNIT_E,Bid_Dec,Pay_Dec,Pay Item Type,FP-YR,Date added/modified,Division,Comments,
10001-0000,Grass,sq.m,0,0,N,2003,,,,

So the unit here is "sq.m". Previously, it was "SQFT" and the computed area value was 2203.2648

I would like to have the value in squared meters so I typed "{Item Area}" in the Forumula column and the value that is showed in the "Takeoff" is 205 sqm, without decimals, while is 204.6900 in the properties .

Do you know how is it possible to show the decimals?

Thank you!

I would change my units to sq m in the .csv to avoid the formula. To change the decimals displayed by QTO look under settings for Quantity Takeoff Commands and change the rounding and units if needed. If the sq m abbreviation doesn't suit you can find the QTOUnits.xml and look for and change it there.

I solved it using "M2", as written in that .xml file. Thank you.
