Generic Annotation of Length

I am trying to make a family that I can use to put in specified lengths. This will be in a table and I would typically do this with text.

 

However, I have to enter the length in inches and I want Revit to convert the inches automatically to feet & inches. 

 

I am trying with a label, however, I am not sure of a way to type in the label as the parameter is length.

I want the label to take an input such as 76" and feedback 6'-4".

Select the label and Format Units.  Or just share the family here.

That worked. 

 

Is it possible to have an instance parameter that is  "=Length", but outputs that in inches?

The values I am inputting are originally in inches, and need to be in feet/inches format, but it would be nice to have a way to verify they are the correct inches value as well.

 

Can the highlighted be inches:

Only if it is also a label so that you can Format Units to Inches.

What you are saying is that the instance properties panel will always output in feet & inches?

This would mean to see the inches it would have to be a visible label in the family correct?

Another way is not using Length for the Inches parameter, but using a Number parameter.  Change the formula to: (Length / 1) * 12.  Then you don't need to create a label.
