5.4 Custom Units Preferences <br />A custom units set defines units for all variables in BehavePlus and the decimal display <br />for output variables. Changes may be made using Configure > Custom units preferenc- <br />es (Figure 26), which are then applied to the current worksheet. Changes can be saved for <br />future use, if desired. You may want to create a custom units set if, for example, you pre- <br />fer to use ft/min for rate of spread rather than ch/h. Or you might create a units set with <br />English units for everything except canopy bulk density, which is commonly expressed in <br />kg/m3. <br />There are over 180 variables in BehavePlus, which are divided into groups for purposes <br />of assigning units and decimal display (Appendix G). The units are assigned by category. <br />Units for all variables in that group will be changed. The Help window lists the variables <br />assigned to each group (Figure 26). <br />You do not have to save a custom units set to apply changes to the current worksheet. <br />You have the option of saving changes in a custom units set or only applying changes to <br />the current worksheet (Figure 27). In either case, the changes will be saved with the cur- <br />rent worksheet or run. Figure 28 shows the output table from Figure 22 after reducing the <br />number of decimals for Surface ROS from 1 to 0. If you are going to use different units <br />and decimals often, you will want to save them as a custom units set, which can be ac- <br />cessed by clicking on Configure > Units set selection > Custom. <br />rvd & Venom IIMb 1 Weelher Ubb I T=oe. & fipatf Ua. !xc d0 ElFcob Unts IMM & hiw Taft j Cacho & S.Be U b i <br />Vri.ble <br />usito Dodoolr <br />swfue A05 <br />PF- <br />"" " --�3 FF 7 <br />C7raamK09 <br />Fair ____ F_.E <br />ratIIWPWUJitluea <br />f._. _ ...4J��-5- <br />es <br />'Fano'.
