    Default Permanently reset Units in Family

    Summary: Resetting units from say Metric to Imperial in a family, doesn't really work. Revit still sees new parameters as millimeters.

    Description: If you have a family that was created in metric units, and you change it's units to now be feet and inches, Revit still treats new parameters , for example a length, as millimeters. You cannot create a new length parameter , such as a pipe diameter, in inches. It will STILL create them as millimeters. So you cannot truly change the units of a family.

    You have to reassign ALL Project Units to imperial or metric settings (or at least those you want to be changed) to achieve what you describe. Duct Size is a separate parameter found under HVAC...likewise Pipe Size is found under Piping...change them and you'll get the units you specify instead.
