Member property display units- Shift+X

In spite of selecting Metric units for member section properties at the beginning of a new model (considering Indian codes), while checking the member sections during modelling and analysis, the member properties are getting displayed in FPS units.

Ex: Suppose I assign an RC member section of YD = 1m & ZD = 1m. When I press "Shift+X", the member section displayed is "Rect 39.37x39.37" i.e. 1m or 1000mm size is displayed as 39.37in which is in FPS units, although I have selected Metric units for displaying member section properties.


This makes it cumbersome to understand if we have assigned the correct member property and would greatly benefit all users if this issue were addressed.

    Thank you for logging this idea. However you are simply using the program in English Units. Please close the model set the configuration to METRIC and open the model again the profile will display as the metric dimension.
