Explain me the inches,mm,cm etc, for modeling
Why some guys in tutorials i've seen, before they import image plane sin maya, they set up the photoshop file in inches, and then they set up maya grid in inches, and import it in Maya? Why? I mostly seen this in hard surface modeling, vehicle, pistols, guns etc. And for character they put Cm for it?

As long as you are comfortable using the units you can use either but of course make sure if you measure your images in one unit then use the same in Maya.
