What Determines the Decimal Places Displayed in Revit Properties?

In my Revit project, I've noticed that the Properties panel displays decimal places differently from my project unit settings. When I set the length units to 0 decimal places, the Properties panel still shows values with 1 decimal place (e.g., 10200.0). For area and volume, even if I set the project units to 2 decimal places, the Properties panel displays values with 3 decimal places.

It seems that Revit enforces a minimum of 1 decimal place for length and 3 decimal places for area and volume in the Properties panel, regardless of my project unit settings. Is there a specific rule or reason for this behavior? Can this be adjusted to match the exact decimal place settings defined in the project units?

Project Units for the most part, but all is not lost -- you can change how it displays in Schedules.

Personally I want the properties to show the exact value unrounded so that I know if something is slightly off.

 

Those values are for the user only and if you are trying to show the value in a document set then you would create a schedule or a dimension and the rounding can be controlled there for what is shown.
