fromFt |
Converts a number from feet to the current default unit. |
manual |
WARNING: This function is deprecated.
Converts a number from feet to the current default unit.
DEPRECATED prefer using explicit numeric suffixes (e.g., 42ft) or the to... conversion functions.
No matter what units the current file uses, this function will always return a number equivalent to the input in feet.
For example, if the current file uses inches, fromFt(1) will return 12. If the current file uses millimeters, fromFt(1) will return 304.8. If the current file uses feet, fromFt(1) will return 1.
Caution: This function is only intended to be used when you absolutely MUST have different units in your code than the file settings. Otherwise, it is a bad pattern to use this function.
We merely provide these functions for convenience and readability, as fromFt(10) is more readable that your intent is "I want 10 feet" than 10 * 304.8, if the file settings are in millimeters.
