There have been many times when I wished I could just change all the units in the family from Imperial to metric. I feel like this should be in the transfer project standards.
I do have a Dynamo graph for this but I can't imagine it would be so hard to bake it into Revit.
Yes please! I just was assigned to work on a project that is missing some of the standard options for units (including the ubiquitous Imperial setting "feet and fractional inches"). Without being able to transfer this from another project, I'm not even sure there is a way to get this setting into the project.
Ran into this exact issue on a client project - dozens of structural framing and structural column families with nested profile families, all needing a thorough imperial to metric conversion. Transfer Project Standards doesn't touch units, and doing it manually across that many nested families gets messy fast.
We ended up building an add-in for it (full disclosure, I'm one of the authors): https://apps.viabim.co/tools/manage-revit-units - lets you quick-load the default metric/imperial unit set (same choice you get from File > New Project > <None> template), or export full/partial unit settings to JSON and apply them across families or projects. Sharing in case it helps someone else.
