Does Maya has measurement units being used?

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Hi, Bros...

I've been to Rhino3D and they have units for measurements being used. Im not comparing entirely comparing the two softwaRES but simply has this question,

"Is it that pixels maya uses?'or it has another units used?'

Thanks folks

Have a look in the settings, the default is cm (i think) but you can change it to whatever you like.

Maybe it's right. I may have forgotten measurement subject in college. It looks milimeter but they're in metric system.

So no arguement bro! and where can i look into its menu for document unit settings?
