dimension types independently from the default project settings.
Beginning with Revit 2014 you have had the ability to assign alternate units.
This allows companies to display their dimensions in imperial and metric
units at the same time. Since that edition, we also have more control over
the Equality dimensions' appearance.
Project Units
Whether you are creating a template with metric or imperial units, you will

access the settings for units.
You can set the default units for any graphical or engineering
measurements.
