Displaying both unit system in surface schedules

Sometimes you need to display both unit system (Imperial & Metric) say for example in a room schedule.

Create a schedule that display the project units (Imperial in this example). I renamed the Area header for Area Imperial.

Create a calculated value and name it Area Metric. Enter Area in the Formula field.image

In the Formatting tab select Area Metric and click Field Format…image

Uncheck Use Project Settings, change the Units for Square meters and set the other options as needed.

We now have a dynamic way of displaying both values.
