Hi,
Measuring up for carpet.
in inches. (measuring in imperial then converting to metric on calculator before adding a dimension.
Can one enter by the way 12 11/16 in command line and get rhino to do the conversion ?
that aside…
some shops use metre, others use inches, so can I get dimension to display the metre in ( ) after the inches ?.
At the moment I am having to use calculator to convert to metres, then double click the dim fig, type it in, etc, but if I re-measure and alter inches, I have to this again.
…and measuring up is never tallying to cad perfection so some tweaking necessary and carpets not a precise science anyway.
Hi, @wim1 @laborda
excuse the late response !
Yes thats great.
I dont suppose there is a way to show inches decimal then ( inches imperial) then [cm]
e.g
1.5 (1 1/2)[3.81] or even to have it as 1.5 (1 1/2) [3.81cm] is there ?
either in Rhino V5 or V7 ?
When I am on site I use whatever part of the ruler is able to give me the dimension, long distances beyond vernier range are in cm or imperial, (as no one makes a locking decimal inch steel ruler) so it can be imperial or cm but also the vernier gets used so I have inches decimal or cm and as the item was made to inches decimal I try to use inches decimal initially. As such when drawing up the item its good for me to see such as all three types, saves a lot of calculator use.
