If you are working in meters in your project, when you insert the "Family" into the project apears in meters even if it was create in Inches or whatever, but, if you OPEN the family and the units are in inches (for e.x.) and you want to change to metric system, go to Settings>Units or Type UN and then change to Meters and change the decimal places...
