Revit interface language and unit language

Hi.

Is that interface language and unit language in Revit can be different? 

Me need English interface and Russian units for project.

May be there is some options on Revit.ini?

To launch Revit with an English interface:

 

Use Revit in Other Languages

 

If you are using metric units and need to have Cyrillic suffixes for the units, you may have to create dimension styles with custom suffixes:

 

Add Prefix/Suffix to a Dimension Type

 

Hope this helps,

Example with pound character as unit symbol suffix added to dimension style:

Thanks, but I need this not for dimension but for material takeoffs.  Now my workaround is turn off internal unit and make custom text field with unit.

Revit only supports Metric and Imperial units symbols based on the language pack used...To translate or use any other custom unit symbols, you will need to add as a text parameter and combine fields in the schedule

Russian (Ukraine) use metric units. But every language use own letters to represent units. 

kg - кг

m³ - м³

So my question is units language is hard depended on interface language?

Yes... the translation of unit symbols is related to the language pack. You cannot add new Unit symbols to the English. The workaround mentioned above is the only option 

 

There was an Idea posted on Revit Ideas to allow for custom unit symbols if you want to dig it up and vote for it

Then I suggest you change the column titles to include the units in brackets and format the units of the cell to not show the unit suffix.
