All distances in Cascadeur are measured in Cascadeur units.

When you import a model or a scene, all measurements are converted into Cascadeur units in one to one proportion, regardless of what units are used in the imported files.

For example, if you have two characters:
• One 100 units high, where one equals one centimeter.
• Another one, also 100 unit high, but with one unit equal to one meter.
If you import these characters to Cascadeur, both characters will have the same height: 100 Cascadeur units.

The same units are used for physics calculations.
Freefall acceleration, for example, is measured in Cascadeur units per square second:

This value is found on the Physics tab of the Physics Settings panel.

Connection between seconds and frames is defined by the Framerate parameter found under the FPS tab on the Scene Settings panel:
