Ruler Options: Measuring in Squares or Feet

I've been playing an Iron Kingdoms game recently, and it runs on a one square = 6' system. My suggestion is that there be a toggle-able option to show the ruler display in either grid distance or in-game distance, as trying to quickly calculate how many squares 108" is can be sort of awkward. Thanks for making this system, I use it weekly and its been great fun!

Brandon, there is not a toggleable option like that for the Player, so, your Suggestion could work for that. Or the suggestion could pertain to adding a hot-key on the ruler to quickly switch. There is such an option for the GM, on a per-page basis. I will provide the instructions for anyone who doesn't know about this. It is in the Page Settings and applies for that Page. It can be changed, and when the change is saved, it instantly takes effect, so in that sense it can be toggled (not with a hotkey but with a setting change). See wiki documentation under Page Size and Scale (where one square = 6' is set), <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Page_Settings" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Page_Settings</a> and the Ruler measurement settings options (4 ways of measuring, for choosing your grid distance or in-game distance), <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Ruler" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Ruler</a>
I'm not familiar with the system you're talking about, so I don't quite understand your problem. Why can't you just set the squares to be 6ft and use that?
