How can I change the measurements?

Hi Everyone,

I have been back and forth all morning trying to reset my scale sizing. it is showing my measurements in inches and ft but I need them in m2. When I then go to remeasure it just goes back to the original inches and ft. Could some one please tell me how to reset this fully as i have never seen this before.

Change the units on the Measurement Panel, then scroll to the bottom of the Properties Panel and click on Set as Default. This will fix it going forward.

Just set the result of the measurement (square meters) obtained by right-clicking the mouse and selecting Measure as "Set as Default".
