But I'm having trouble with the document scale & Unit's attributes.
If someone can tell me how to edit those settings.

Since R12 CINEMA supports true units which required each document to have a unit scale. Its data type is UnitScaleData. Please check the docs for a detailed description.

cheers,
Matthias

The SDK does a good job explaining the methods and their parameters.
But it assumes that the reader knows how to construct the correct path to the proper owner of these methods(in this case the document).

Here's my crude attempt:

#include "customgui_unitscale.h"  
  UnitScaleData *data;   
  data->SetUnitScale(1, DOCUMENT_UNIT_KM);       
  doc->SetParameter(DescID(DOCUMENT_DOCUNIT), GeData(data), DESCFLAGS_SET_0); //<--This is definitely wrong

I'm still not very good at understanding the SDK yet.
I'm hoping if I get enough examples under my belt. I will get to a point where I can use it much better.

You can set custom data like this:

  
BaseContainer *bc = doc->GetSettingsInstance(DOCUMENTSETTINGS_DOCUMENT);  
  
UnitScaleData *usd = (UnitScaleData* )bc->GetCustomDataType(DOCUMENT_DOCUNIT, CUSTOMDATATYPE_UNITSCALE);  
if (!usd) return FALSE;  
  
usd->SetUnitScale(10.0, DOCUMENT_UNIT_KM);  
  
bc->SetData(DOCUMENT_DOCUNIT, GeData(CUSTOMDATATYPE_UNITSCALE, *usd));  
  
doc->Message(MSG_UPDATE);

Thank you sir.
I added it to the list. Now it should be complete.
