I'm not sure if i understood correctly so maybe this has nothing to do with what you are really looking for. What i figure is that the ring sizes increase by 1/16, but when you have for example 2/16 or 8/16, you display it as a fraction with the smallest denominator, that is 1/4 or 1/2 respectively. This definition contains an integer slider where each number represents 1/16. This number of 1/16ths are then converted into the appropriate format using a text tag on the rhino viewport. It will display some text like "sz 2 and 1/4th" or "sz 4 and 7/16th". The idea is not to look at the actual number that the slider is displaying, but rather at the numbers displayed in the viewport. I did it using standard components but if you do a search in google you can find vb.net functions that convert decimals to fractions.
