Make a true non-US revit

[fruity101079]

...And not just a adaption .

It's a pain to pay for a software we can't use 50% of it (yes, calculations are completely false due to conversion (retarded unit) inch/meter and can't be used. The same for MEP standards, only US things, but it's not the purpose of this post).

I just see another thing, it's no big deal, but this + that + that, etc.... we (non-US) have to think for everything:

The date and hour format doesn't respect international standards.

It should be DD/MM/YYYY .

If i didn't check another file to see this "15" to understand that the 2nd number is the day and not the month, i will be completely wrong with something like 05/02/2020.

And hours should be 00:00:00 (AM/PM is useless)

I partially agree. The date, time format, decimal separator and currency are defined in the locale and every software must follow it.

As for me, the proper date format is YYYY-MM-DD.

I agree,

Also Imperial units are legally defined from metric units. So it will make more sense that internal units be meter, instead of imperial (at least for lenght, that looks to be the only internal units in Revit that is Imperial, so not much consistent). 😑
