Im trying to set units in the beginning of revit project using dynamo just like we use “Project Units” menu to set different units. Is it possible to set these units using dynamo?

If there is an existing node or package, kindly link.  
And if there is a need to write python script, kindly give me a starting push by showing me the script for setting length unit using dynamo!  
Shall be thankful.

Hey,

I’m not aware of any packages, you might need to convert some C# into Python ☹

Maybe these help…
