Hello,
I have searched the archives and docs and can't find a function to retrieve the value of the Basic Units pref in R7's General Settings.
Thanks,

Check out GetWorldContainer().

Sorry, what is the id I am looking for in the BaseContainer? There is no description of what is in the world container.
I know some other applications always return everything in meters, regardless of what the user has set the units at. Does C4D do something similar? What I'd like to do is scale a material according to the type of units.
Thanks,

Sorry, I could have been more clear. Look at the LONG WPREF_UNIT_BASIC value. It corresponds directly to the 0-based index of the units in the general preference dialog.

if (worldContainer)

units = worldContainer->GetLong(WPREF_UNITS_BASIC);
}Why the obfuscation? Conversion from LONG to int takes time as well as GetData().GetLong(). Of course, if you want to 'set' this setting, you should use GetWorldContainer() and SetWorldContainer() (refer to SDK documentation).
