Quote - If you had inches you would still be getting decimal parts of inches. 1.5" etc. 
In effect there are 10 inches to a foot in Carrara.
For those  of us who converted to decimals years ago, but still think a lot in inches and feet, it realy is only a very small mental gap to jump.

I never liked decimals. :)  I just never could get used to it, which is why I get messed up when working in C6 feet.  I typically work with grids set at .125 in.  or 1/8 inch or even finer.  A lot of my older files seem to have trouble when I chenge to feet from their inches.  Their grids don't match up anymore and they can get distorted.
