Anonymous

Is is possible to set unit type to hectare whether by dimension setting under prefs or by calculation method using zones (without going into GDL programming...) ?

thanks much

I am not aware of any setting that does Hectares or Acres , but I have a converting library part that might help with some of the dimensions that Archicad doesnt have.

This isn't an Archicad object but it is a really handy converter/calculator for just about anything.
It is an Excel file (zipped).
I don't know where it came from or who created it and I can't see any copyrights or restrictions for sharing it.
So here it is.

There is a unit converter for Mac that I use and find useful.
It is freeware and can be downloaded here.
