Elevation Line in Feet Instead of Inches
I know you can type in feet in the Elevation Line, dbx, but it just converts it to inches. Can you make it display in feet? Tried a search but didn't see this specifically. This is one of those things that has bugged me for a long time on and off but just now getting around to asking about it.

Bryce,
I also can't find a way to do it. I've always just placed text at the end of the contour lines to indicate the real world elevation data.
It would definitely be a great feature for Chief to add (with a real world offset value).Joseph P. Carrick, Architect - AIA

I only get feet, not inches, point is I know you can get it to display in feet, but am not clear on why, not at computer.

The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.
We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

Hmm....
Elevation Lines are in inches in the dbx. Contour Lines display as feet on the Plan.Joseph P. Carrick, Architect - AIA

The "Number Style" Tab controls such read outs in dialog boxes, you can choose from several different types of readouts in terms of dialogs.
