      I have no idea if there is a special expression for this in English. I'll try to explain what I'm thinking of:
      On a dimension line, if the value is round (eg: 1500.0m) and precision is set to 0.0, would be possible to remove the zero after the comma? And to show decimals only if the value requires it (15.0 -> 15; 15.3 -> 15.3)

      Thanks for taking it into consideration.

        You can't format how a dimension is displayed, other than by setting it in your Model Info > Units settings - so if your precision is 0 there is no decimal reporting but a ~ will be added to the front of the number if it's no a whole number of meters.

        The other way is to edit the dimension's text and type in what you want to see - but then it looses its ability to update whenever its connected geometry changes - because it will always show that edited text.

        Incidentally, you can change a dimension's text AND keep the standardly formated 'numerical' part which will update, by using this syntax <>xxx - where the '<>' represents the dimension's standard output and the 'xxx' represents some text, like ' Site Dimension'; this additional text can come before the '<>', or after it, or on both sides...
