Feet to meter property BIM

[Paolo-lab]

Hello good morning everyone, my end customer pointed out to me that some bim properties in the original itwin are expressed in meters while in the internally developed itwin they are expressed in feet

I attach a small image for clarification:

How can I transform this?

Ps I had the same problem with the tools that expressed the distances in feet in that case I used:

Thanks for the precious help

Hello!

By default, the quantity formatter for the frontend uses the imperial unit system. That can be changed by setting the active unit system like you've shown in your image above, but I don't think you'll need to set an override format.

If you want the unit system to be set to metric at startup of your app, you can take advantage of the constructor of the quantity formatter coupled with the object you can pass into IModelApp.startup(), shown here

So the above would look like:

const metricQuantityFormatter = new QuantityFormatter(true);
iModelAppOptions = {
...iModelAppOptions,
quantityFormatter : metricQuantityFormatter
}

await IModelApp.startup(iModelAppOptions);

If there's more information you need, you can refer to our documentation on quantity formatting for the frontend.

The <Viewer /> component should expose a prop for presentationProps like @grigasp mentioned. If you are not providing it, you will be using the defaults

Hello, good morning everyone, I went to check this prop presentationProps that you have indicated to me on several occasions, but inside ViewerInitializerParams this parameter does not exist

I attach an image of ViewerInitializerParams:

thanks and sorry again for the inconvenience, but I have to get out of it somehow

Hello everyone good morning, after realizing that I didn't have the presentationProps property, I updated @itwin/web-viewer-react to version 4.3.4 and everything worked fine

Thanks so much for the support @hl662 - @grigasp - @aruniverse
