Measurement Unit Switcher

The Measurement Unit Switcher allows your website visitors to view property area and lot sizes in their preferred measurement unit (e.g., Square Feet, Square Meters, Acres). When enabled, a dropdown or toggle will appear on the frontend properties, automatically calculating the conversions based on your configured base unit.

Design Availability

The Measurement Unit Switcher is supported on the Modern and Ultra design variations. It is not available for the Classic design.

Configuring Measurement Units

To configure the measurement units and the switcher, please follow the following paths as per the version you are using:

Area & Lot Size Units

If you only want to use a single format across your entire website (without the switcher), you can define a static text label:

  • Area Size Unit: Enter the default area unit text (e.g., sq ft).
  • Lot Size Unit: Enter the default lot size unit text (e.g., sq ft).

Base Measurement Unit

Select the measurement unit you used when entering your property sizes in the backend. All mathematical conversions for the frontend switcher will be calculated from this base unit.

  • Example: If you select "Square Feet", and enter a property size as 1000, the system knows this means 1,000 sq ft and will accurately convert it to square meters other othe units dynamically.

Customizing Display Labels

You can also modify the display labels for each available measurement unit. If a unit's text field is left empty, that specific unit will be hidden from the frontend switcher dropdown.

The available units and their default texts are:

  • Square Feet Text: Default is sq ft
  • Square Meter Text: Default is m²
  • Square Yard Text: Default is yd²
  • Acre Text: Default is acre
  • Hectare Text: Default is ha
  • Kanal Text: Default is kanal
  • Marla Text: Default is marla
