Remarks

Units are used to calculate the import scale unless scale is defined explicitly using CustomScale, in which case Units will be ignored. Feet, inches, meters, centimeters, decimeters, millimeters are all supported. If Default unit is set, Revit will read and use the units from the file. If units are not available or accessible there, Revit will default to inches.
