Unit statements can redefine the base units of length/angle/force/mass values

These examples
demonstrate use of the
<a href="https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V4.0/Part01/concepts.html" target="_blank">X3D Units</a>
statements proposed for X3D version 3.3.
Unit statements define conversion factors from default units in order to simplify the creation of content using minimal data translation.
