Does Maya has measurement units being used?

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?

It's great!

This is where Maya differs from Rhino. When opening Rhino Program it'l ask u what unit u will be using...

MAya is greater still. Lot of tools.
