What Changes
The unit preference affects values shown in the app and reports:
| Input or Output | Metric |
Imperial |
|---|---|---|
| Floor heights | meters | feet |
| Elevator capacity | kilograms | pounds |
| Rated speed | meters per second | feet per minute |
| Door width | millimeters | inches |
Time values, percentages, populations, passengers, and run statuses keep the same meaning in both unit systems.
Reports and Saved Runs
Reports use the unit system active when the report view is built. If you change units and reopen a completed run in Results, VT Planner rebuilds the report view with the new display units where supported.
