When you first install The Compleat Botanica, measurements for height and spread use US Customary units (inches and feet).

If you prefer, you can change this to the metric system (millimeters, centimeters and meters). To do this, go to the Customize settings window.

Note that all existing specimen records will be converted and that this conversion, while accurate in one direction, is not reversible.  For example, converting 6� from US Customary to metric will result in 15cm, but converting 15cm from metric to US Customary will result in 5� .

Here is what the converted height and spread will look like:
