# Units
## Overview
Vectary utilizes an internal measurement system that can be defined only when importing/exporting a file or configuring augmented reality settings. \
### Available units
Metric system
Imperial system
millimeters
thou
centimeters
inches
decimeters
feet
meters
yards
kilometers
miles
### File Import
In the import settings menu, a preferred unit of measurement can be selected. Imported files will have their dimensions automatically converted according to the selected units. Once configured, this setting will be applied to all new projects by default, without the need for repeated selection.
### File Export
When selecting a file format that supports unit information, an additional field for specifying units will appear. Note that OBJ and STL formats do not store real-world unit data.
### AR Export
To set units for an AR model, navigate to the **Behavior** tab and select a preferred measurement unit.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.vectary.com/documentation/getting-started/units.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
