In the Arch workbench, only Wall and Windows were changed to more closely resemble US constructions. Keep in mind that currently only metric entry is permitted in the preferences tab. You will have to convert Imperial to Metric.

Walls

Wall were set to 3.5 Inches Thick and 8 ft tall.

Windows

Windows were set to 3 feet x 3 feet.

The draft Grid settings use 12″ spacing. The easiest way to set the Draft Grid spacing is by clicking on the working plane tool. ( make sure you have nothing selecting in view )

Grid spacing can then be set in the “Select Plane” dialog.
