Summary

Modifying the units in PROFIS Engineering allows you to tailor the software’s measurements, such as length, force, stress, and temperature, to match your regional standards or project requirements. Updating these settings helps ensure consistency and accuracy across all new designs.


Step-by-step instructions

  1. Go to PROFIS Engineering website
    https://profisengineering.hilti.com/
  2. Log in to your account using your Hilti credentials
    Sign in using your Hilti credentials.
  3. Open the Setting menu
    Click the settings icon (⚙️) in the top-right corner of the screen.

  4. Navigate to design module
    In the left-side menu, go to desired design module under Application settings.

     
  5. Modify units
    Under Units and default parameters, update the unit settings according to your preference.
    These default units are initially based on the region you selected, but you can customize them as needed.
    Here, you can also modify the default design method.
    Note: You can also modify default units while starting a new design.

     
  6. Save your settings
    Your changes will be applied immediately.

Tip

If you work on international projects or collaborate with external teams, consider adjusting your unit settings at the start of each project to ensure consistency and avoid conversion errors in your design workflow.
