ZoneVu allows users to set default units on a Well, Project, Seismic Surveys, and in the Viewer. These units will be honored for that object at that data level. 

Setting default units on a Well:

Default units for a Well are set by the 'Elevation/Depth Units' dropdown on the 'General' tab of the Well header dialog. The units set here will be honored in the Well Folder and the Drilling Center dialog.
