    7. Optionally select:
      • Suppress trailing 0’s

        Once selected, trailing zeros do not display (for example, 123.400 displays as 123.4).

      • Suppress 0 feet

        When selected, does not display the 0 foot value (for example, 0’ – 4” displays as 4”). This option is available for Length and Slope units.

      • Show + for positive values
      • Use digit grouping

        When selected, the Decimal symbol/digit grouping option specified in the Project Units dialog is applied to the unit value.

      • Suppress spaces

        When selected, suppresses spaces around feet and fractional inches (for example, 1’ – 2” displays as 1’-2”). This option is available for Length and Slope units.

    8. Click OK.

Please note: Changing Units in Revit changes the display of units in the project but will not change the names of families loaded into the project. For example a wall type with the name “4” Masonry” will not change when the project units are changed to metric.
