What do you mean you can’t have dimensions in feet and inches with fractions? I don’t have any problem with that. Wtf, you must be missing something.
In SketchUp:
In LayOut:
Architectural will show 12’ 4 1/2".
Fractional will show 148 1/2".
It’s a little confusing for me since it does not show this as an option or what either format do in the “model info” menu.
He means SketchUp does not show an example in the Units pane of the Model Info dialog.
Much like a font selection control would show and example using the selected font.
And they are correct. The Display Precision control for Length does not indicate a full example showing both feet and inches for Architectural.
If you look at the dialog the Format control is rather short and has quite enough space to be widened to add full examples, like so:

True and agree. But until this is realized (by extension or natively), I’m satisfied with the possibility that I have shown. 
(I have no idea “how long” is the 12’ 4 1/2" anyway… 
)
It’s 3.7719 meters.

I’ve always known that was possible, I don’t know why I said that in the post and I’m guessing I was referring to something else… Can’t remember…
