Stacked Dimensions in Revit would be nice!!

This would help drawing space and it looks better. good idea.

Most modern fonts have the 1/8s build as characters under Unicode. They would just have to access those characters without having to build them. Unfortunately, being a metric world there is no Unicode standard for the smaller fractions.

But David, is it possible to have fractions in Revit ?

If Revit was told to use the Unicode fractional character instead of the series of standard characters, it would give you want to you want.

The native ability to view numbers as fractions in schedules would enable users to utilize the horsepower unit instead of Jerry rigging a text parameter to look like a power parameter. Displaying 1/6 hp as 0.17 hp is practically useless. A solution would be an added field in the Field Formatting Menu to use fractions as opposed to decimal. This could consequently update the rounding table to give options for fractional rounding.

Add a fractional text option to the text editor.

I don't know if this would work for you since it isn't exactly the same the image you posted but: ¼ ½ ¾.

Not sure if you mean that copy/pasting isn't working for you, but look up "Alt Key Code Chart". Basically 1/4 can be typed using "Alt + 0188", making ¼.

the requirement of national standards, the text in the form

It's difficult to see *exactly* what you are asking for.  Are you wanting vertically stacked fractions, rather than diagonal stacking?

this is implemented in autocad

It would be great to be able to create vertical or diagonal stacked fractions similar to AutoCAD in text, annotation tags, and dimensions

Our contractors, cabinet-makers, craftsmen prefer a stacked fraction, so they don't confuse the similarity in numerical font sizes.  Would be great if REVIT could provide this stackable fraction option!  Thank you, Paul

It would make architectural plans more readable, otherwise the dimensions are too long. We need it.

Stacked or diagonal fractions are a must !.  For  my architectural drawings  Readability and clarity are important to avoiding mistakes.  Even AutoCAD LT can do this!

Revit currently has 1/2, 1/4, 3/4 in their symbols section. That can be added to text annotations by right clicking and adding symbols. These are lovely, but there are not enough options for fraction numbers. We work in the imperial system so quickly readable fractions are critical.

 

We need diagonally stacked fractions as shown above for all fraction possibilities down to 32nds.

 

Please create this or help us discover how to create it ourselves.
