Yesterday I had  a look into Carrara 6 pro. I tried some of our mesh. First problem came up in changing unit (in) into (pixel) in vertex modeller. I moved into

Preferences -> General Scene Settings -> 3D Unit System 

but found no item like    pixel, mm, m etc...

Question: How can I change into pixel? We are interested in buying carrara but want to be sure everything is working fine.

With a scene open, look at the area on the bottom right. Click where it says Scene. Once you have done that, go to the top right and click on the Interface Tab. From there you can set what units to use.

Thanks dbigers. We'll try it out.

kruse. Unless I am way off beam, you could never, ever use pixel settings other than at the render time (In the Render Room only--Out[put Tab, top RH corner.) 

All other areas you would work in dimensions (settings of your choice) The default is 72 pixels per inch--the same as your computer screen.
