      I need a hand.
      I opened a model from the 3d Warehouse.
      When I use the tape measure to measure things they appear to
      be metric. Maybe centimeters.
      I have gone to Window/Preferences/Templates and the default
      is set to Architectural and Interior design.

      I created a 12"x12"x12" cube using the measurements value
      box. When I measured it the values were converted to metric.

      Is there a way to convert the measurements to feet and inches?

      Thanks in advance for any help.
      Jimmy

        Window > Model info > units.

        (You might reconsider your SU version 3.1 however as it may be misleading. Go to your profile settings to change it)

          Thanks again and I did correct my SU version information.
