There is a missing grouping type
123 456 789.00
the closest match contains a comma
need a grouping type that contains a period
screen shot from Revit 2022
@kimberly.fuhrman this isn't really an idea, more of a bug fix.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved by wr.marshall. Go to Solution.
Revit has a variety of in-built number formats, but does not have the most widely used number format for scientific and engineering purposes - SI number format. Correctly applied SI number grouping is easier to read and less prone to reading errors. Correct style is detailed at NIST https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/checklist.html (#16) and at many other online reference sources. It would be useful to have this widely-used number format as an option.
In the example below the dimensions above the rectangle are not SI compliant. The "dimensions" below the rectangle are SI compliant, but have been created by overriding Revit's dimensions with text.
@wr.marshall I'm going to move this post over to the Revit forums so that it can get escalated from there. Is that ok with you?
Isn't the first one in the list what you're looking for?
2020 vs 2022:
yep, missing in 2020 also. 😉
as stated there is an option for 123 456 789,00 but this one contains a comma as seen in my screenshot. looking for same but the comma is replaced with a period so show as 123 456 789.00
There very first one in 123,456,789.0. That's not what you are after? Anyways, it 123 456 789.00 isn't in 2020 or 2021 or 2022. Did I get short-changed? Arrgh!
@kimberly.fuhrman Please combine as looks like same thing
minor bug fix: digit grouping type missing - Autodesk Community - Revit Products
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19455-01/806-0169/overview-9/index.html
I wonder if the format is available in the regions that use it.
@kimberly.fuhrman @Anonymous @barthbradley @RSomppi not mentioned in the 2023 new feature documentation of updates but I just checked and this appears to be added😀. Tested and showing as 123 456 789.123456789. Showing spacing and period for decimal place
@kimberly.fuhrman I know minor but could you add this to the implemented features on road map and/or move this thread back to ideas and set as implemented.
@wr.marshall , Thanks!
It was considered a minor fix (but important nonetheless!). Rather than create a new Idea, I just marked your post as the Accepted Solution.
Thanks again!
