setting ToString() decimal places

[multicaduser]

In getting the sizes from the "ufs.Modl.AskBoundingBoxExact" function and creating a string from the distances, I'm having difficulty figuring out how to set the format decimal places to four using the "distances(0).ToString()".

In expressions I would use "format("%.4f",variable), but that doesn't work. Is there a way to set the decimal places directly or does it need to be done post conversion? Then there is the question of the function dropping trailing zeroes.

Can someone give me a hint?

Alternatively: ToString("F4") will give you four digits.
