SPACE NAME/DIMENSION SCALE

[Christian Fekete]

How do I setup the dimensions so that I don't end up with fractions of inches like so

Unfortunately the units for the Space Tool settings are governed by the VW Document Settings - Units preferences.  That means that if you set the rounding precision to the nearest inch, the model will show the same unit preferences in the Object Info Palette.  This creates accuracy issues when modeling.

You can also edit the Data Tag used in the Space Object, 

to have units more/less refined than the Doc settings:

In my file/setup, the Units and Precision settings are grayed out, so I never thought they could be changed.  I wonder how the data tags are differently configured.

The "Energy Area" parameter does indeed allow adjustment of unit precision.  What exactly does that measure?

"Room Dimensions" does not, which is also one I would also like to adjust.
