The planimetric and elevation units are displayed in the Units toolbar, on the far right of the top toolbars The Units button can be used to access/change the current units and coordinate system definition. The units of the data are important when making area, length, slope, and other geometric calculations. WMS must have the correct units defined for the raw data (DEM, TIN, etc.) in order to make the appropriate conversions to model units such as square miles, kilometers squared (area) and miles, kilometers, feet, meters (distance).
