The units used in the assembly editor dialogues is derived from the project units. Changing the project unit swill only change the unit of measurement used it will not change the dimension values or the name of the assembly.
e.g. Wall type 2x4 studs @ 16" o.c. with batt insulation won't change to 38x89 @ 400 o.c. and the layers in the wall will be hard converted into mm.
You'll either need to rename your walls and re-enter the thicknesses or you can maintain an imperial and metric wall library.
