Limitations

  • Converts the unit of a length only. It does not work out a length from other measurements.
  • Uses international inches and feet, which are defined exactly in metric units.
  • Feet are shown as a decimal number, not as feet and inches. For example 5.5 ft is 5 ft 6 in. The grid shows the same length in inches.
