No conversion is necessary. If something is 6 linear feet tall, it is 6 feet tall. It should be noted, that the correct term is Linear, since Lineal refers to a line of ancestry, not to length. There are times when the term Linear is used, and times when it is not. I'll give some examples of them. First a definition. Linear means a straight line so a straight line from point A to point B is the linear distance. One example would be... It is 2200 linear miles from Seattle to Washington DC. But if you were to drive from Seattle to Washington DC, you would have to drive 2700 miles.
