Hi Daniel!

You can do something like this:

import clr

clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

if IN[0]:
	TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
	unit = doc.GetUnits()
	format = FormatOptions(DisplayUnitType.DUT_METERS)
	unit.SetFormatOptions(UnitType.UT_Length,format)
	doc.SetUnits(unit)
	TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
	OUT = "length unit changed to meter"
else:
	OUT = "Set IN[0] to true!"
