It says: To display quotes in a text string, use a backslash ( \ ). For example: `="This is the “\official" retail price for this item:” & variable name
But I can’t seem to get this to work when trying to create feet/inches marks and not bounded quotes:
I think you need to use a work around as the code evaluates the strings in a formula, try referencing attributes (a1,a2,…) with their properties set to text (not just the default grayed out value), then choose(Type, a1,a2,a3…)
The way I handle that is to use two single quotes to denote inches! (‘’) It looks almost the same as a double quote (“), but does not suffer from the issue of being seen as an actual quote. It’s a kludge, yeah, and not very elegant, but it works. SketchUp DC is so buggy anyway, that sometimes the only solution is to fake things in other ways. Another “trick” I use is the vertical bar “|” instead of a slash for fractions. So instead of ( 3/4” ) I have (3|4’'). It looks a bit weird, yes, but you get used to it, and SketchUp does not try to do division on your fraction.
I guess I never responded to this when I found the best solution. Set a custom Attribute to the Double Quote - in my example the Attribute I used in “Q”. This all you have to do is concatenate the Attribute “Q” to the end of your text String (e.g. “2’-0”+Q). Easy Peasy
