Tutorial - Add Positive Sign to Dimensions (Revit Clinic)

Very simple little tip from Revit Clinic:

Quick tip which can be easy to overlook in Revit. By default a spot elevation does not show a + sign for positive elevation values.

You can add this to the spot elevation tag through the Type Properties > Units Format > un-check Use project settings > check Show + for positive values.

The same process works for dimensions as well.

You want to show units of decimal feet on your Revit model. So you go to Project units and you change it.... but wait... all of your dimensions now change!!

Damn... so how do you change just the level heads to be decimal feet? Check out my tutorial below.
