Q & A
Luke Olson Is there a way to utlize both metric and imperial scale within the same project?
I am Canadian and we tend to need to be able to utilize both. just noticing i cannot use ft or inches in the template if i create the project in Metric.
Had this question come up today. I tried switching one of my test jobs and it gave me a error. I feel like you have to set this at the start and can't switch back and forth correct?
@Kyle This is mostly solved now. If you go hybrid and start mixing units inside takeoff, you just need to be mindful of how the items and templates were originally built and how you’re using the custom UOM settings.
In practice, I usually work in imperial and keep my templates imperial as well. ZZ will scale metric drawings correctly and still let me work in imperial if I set the project to imperial at the project level. Because of that, I haven’t had much need to flip back and forth or dig too deeply into the other settings yet.
Hope that helps.
