-=====Unit Systems=====
-Scan&Solve relies on the unit system chosen when a model is created. The unit system entered into Rhino is used by Scan&Solve to interpret the geometry when restraints and loads are applied to the model.
-====Entering an incorrect unit system====
-If an incorrect unit system is supplied to Rhino when the model is created, the loads and thus danger level applied to the model will likely be significantly different than expected.
-In the following example, a beam is restrained on the left end boundary and has a 1000 N load applied on the right end boundary which causes bending of the beam.
-In the first image, the model was created by choosing the millimeters unit system.  The danger level of the beam failing is very high.

-However, if the beam was intended to be modeled in meters, the result is quite different.  Note that in both cases, Rhino shows the dimension of the beam to be 10.00.

-====Entering Loads in Different Units====
-Scan&Solve can accept loads in different units than the unit system chosen for the geometric model.
