    Also can we,
    1. Change the precision of dimensions
    2. Add an alternate unit with the primary unit. ( for e.g. <------------ 1m (3.28 ft) ------------> )

    Got a solution! Don't know whether it's the right way. Is there any other way @theoryshaw @brunopostle @bruno_perdigao @JanF

    How to change the precision on drawing dimensions.

    I think the method you used above, would only change during the blender session. That is, if you opened the .ifc anew, the units would reset back to the units in the .ifc file.

    This functionality does not exist yet. Would be a good feature request.

    Is there a way I can change the units in the IFC file. I tried the Geometry>Units in the Projects Overview, but its not working.

    Try the ConvertLengthUnit patch...

    Thank you @theoryshaw , it worked . Is there any way I can format the dimension more simple in decimal points as shown below

    Sorry, i don't think that's possible. Would be a good feature request, if you'd like to post one.

    @arunarchitect Also, you might know about this already, but you can round out the imperial fractions too, to 'clean it up' a little.
