Number of digits in the model tree

I'm going through an assy to make sure all the densities are assigned
properly to make sure I have an accurate weight.  So, I've shown
MP_DENSITY *** a column in the model tree, however, it's only showing 6
places.  My units are KG/mm^3, so I need 7 places for the density.  For
example, aluminum is .0000027, but it shows as .000003. 



If I open the part and check, it takes the 7 digit value, is there a way
to force it to display 7 digits in the model tree?

This is controlled by config option param_dec_places.

Instead of increasing this value set it to 4 andvalues will be shownin scientific notation, which might be a better solution.
