This is a really silly one but anyone know how to round the dimensions in Blenderbim? so they display as a rounded to end in 5 or 0,
so perhaps round this to 11.35 or most likely 11.40
Ok I found it and in hindsight it seems obvious hahha, it just doesnt reflect in the annotation preview
It's called "drawing metric precision"
This value is in metres regardless of whether you've changed your units to mm, it doesnt affect the real dimension just the printed one
Viewport:
Printed and rounded SVG:
This is with the precision set to 0.005 = 5mm , for some reason it doesn't show (here is shows 0.00 which is missing a decimal) but it works
Elaborating on this conversation, does anyone know how to round any of the area quantities?
I've got an example where I just want it to round to 1 point after the decimal point not include additional info:
@brunopostle said:
Does this mean that blenderbim will execute arbitrary python code embedded in IFC files?
Yes.
This needs a rethink. I receive aec files from lots of sources, many of which are definitely untrustworthy, I really don't want to give them the ability to run code on my computer.
This will generally be considered a security vulnerability that requires disclosure, CVE announcements, emergency releases etc..
Completely agree. This is purely a temporary implementation just so that things can get done before do a more refined implementation. I think we need to consider a series of formatting functions and do a small Lark language for it.

This seems to be missing in the latest version:
Does anyone know where it might have moved to?
It's a EPset_Drawing property now.
Thankyou!
I think now it's specified for each drawing separately:

@Ace
You can use backticks in IFC Text Literal to evaluate python expression and add rounding:
Thanks @Andrej730 ! You are a life saver
