Hello, I am trying to make a window tag display feet - inches in the way older drawings sometimes show it, with the inches in smaller letters as a superscript, see below. Does anyone have experience or ideas on how to get a window tag to automatically show dimensions in this format? I am thinking the window tag needs to extract the width/height values, convert to decimal feet, round down, etc.
Window tag - Feet-inches display
Accepted solution
Actually, figured it out, I created a family with calculated parameters for feet and inches separately, using this formula:
Feet would just be [rounddown(Length/12")].
For inches, you would start with [Length - rounddown(Length/ 1') * 1'], but you will probably want to address the edge case of measurements that are technically below a foot measure but round up to a foot because of Revit's unit rounding.
For example,
This makes sense.
This, on the other hand, is what you get from 59.9999".
Have a look at this thread. The example files are for Doors, but the same concepts can be used for Windows. There is an old-school example of shared parameters and formulas on the Door family as well as a more-modern approach that takes advantage of being able to have the tag carry the formulas for calculating the Feet and Inches values (Revit 2017 and later, which I presume most are using in the year 2026).
