 ======Unit Systems======
 Scan&Solve relies on the unit system chosen when a model is created. The unit system entered into Rhino is used by Scan&Solve to interpret the geometry when restraints and loads are applied to the model.

 In the first image, the model was created by choosing the millimeters unit system in Rhino.  The danger level of the beam failing is very high.

 However, if the beam was intended to be modeled in meters, the result is quite different: the beam will not fail.  Note that in both cases, Rhino shows the dimension of the beam to be 10.00.

 However, the unit selection in the load creator only applies to the load being defined. It will not convert the model's geometry to another unit system.
