Working with metric or feet units

There are two separate settings for choosing meters or feet as the measurement units:

  • Distance units – these units affect the distances between objects, arena size, tape measure, course lengths.
  • Sizes units – these units affect the obstacle dimensions (spread, height, length).

That approach makes it possible to have distances in feet and sizes in centimeters, or any other combination practiced at your location.

These options are available as units:
