Measure tool accuracy

How do you or can you change the accuracy of the measure tool when measuring between two distances. It measures to a 1/256 accuracy and that is pretty aggrevating.

Manage tab, Settings Panel, Project Units...select Length cell, change rounding to desired increment.

I do not think you can control that. Might be something to put on Revit Ideas.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

I think you linked something that is no longer viewable. It says you found the solution, but the only one I see mentions "Project Units" which I have set to 1/16" and when I "Measure Between Two References" it is still at 1/256th accuracy. I'm just not smart enough to reduce those fractions in my head...

It was marked a solution because there was no way to change this, so the solution is to post it to the idea boards.

 

Also, just use actual dimensions. Then you can use them to move elements accurately, and you can delete them when you're done if you don't want them.

This routine does not change unit accuracy of the measuring tool. This only changes the dimension tool.
