Is there a way to customise the Units format to only show fractions greater than 0 ?
Is there a way to customise the Model Information Units Format to only show fractions greater than 0 ?
Where I have say 30 dimensions showing xx.00
and only one showing xx.50
I'd like to see:
12.50mm - displayed as 12.5 mm
12.00mm - displayed as 12 mm
In IT its something like this Format("?9.?? mm")
I'm only using sketchup and NOT using Layout.
tiaThanks,
Barry G. Sumpter

I'm using Win 7 and SU Pro 2015. In the version I have you can set the display precision to display to a given no of decimal points, I normally operate in mm and no decimals for house layout and woodwork tasks, as that's around the normal accuracy I could achieve in my dreams with a steel rule, though I might go one decimal place for something in metal if I going to turn it or mill it and will be using calipers/verniers for measurement.
This does not mean that components that should match may have 1mm overall variance between them, because if the are supposed to match, they are cut/machined as a set using the same setup, stop block positions etc to maintain consistency and matching. There might be +/- 0.5mm deviation from specified final dimension, but all matched components will match properly.
For mine I can set the number of decimal places from the Window, Model Information, Units window, but I understand that you are using a Mac computer so things will invariably be different. I am a passable user rather than an expert, but I am not aware of SU being able to run scripts etc llike the major drafting programs.I used to be an engineer, I'm not an engineer any more, but on the really good days I can remember when I was.
