Change units metric to imperial

[FIFTHTEXAS]

Hi

just bought a book with some tutorials, its in imperial, and on my copy of revit 2008 cant find a setting to change wall sizes from metric to imperial, looked on templates in folders, all in metric, is there a setting so i can change my settings from metric to imperial

 

thanks

As it could be a couple different things, here's a thread with the same issue:

First change your units, "Settings: Project Units"...then check your dimensions to make sure they're using Project Settings for their unit types.

i think you will need an imperial template to use..also you do know when in Revit you can type any dimension in and it will adhere to it

 

ie i often get Imperial families from the USA and i just type in the dimenion i want with mm on the end

Yes, then make sure your dimension types are the units you want, and everything is fine.

 

Still, though, you can just change the units in the drawing with the Units button.
