If you spend a lot of time designing shaders, you want inches or cm, depending on where you're from. I use inches because when I design a displacement, thinking in terms of 1/4 inch and so on is natural. I crack up when I see displacements like .0083 - who knows what that means? I like to see .1 inches.
For precicely positioning primitive objects, PNU is sometimes useful, but not often. Many of the props are exactly .1 PNU or some such, and stacking them becomes easier by typing in tenths of PNU. But I rarely do that. So I stay with inches 99% of the time.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
