Set Project Scale

I'm creating a new document via newDoc = c4d.documents.BaseDocument() but instead of the new document using my default measuring system (inches), it is using centimeters.  I'm trying to change it but running into a bit of problem understanding the sdk documentation.  It looks like I should be able to set it using baseDocument.SetData(type, bc)  but I don't understand what they mean by "merge the base container for the specified settings".

Any help or insight is appreciated.

Here is what I am trying.

import c4d
from c4d import documents
  
newDoc = c4d.documents.BaseDocument()
projUnit = c4d.UnitScaleData()
projUnit.SetUnitScale(1, c4d.DOCUMENT_UNIT_INCH)
newDoc.SetData(c4d.DOCUMENT_DOCUNIT, projUnit)

Hi .del,

just use the bracket syntax.

projUnit = c4d.UnitScaleData()
projUnit.SetUnitScale(1, c4d.DOCUMENT_UNIT_INCH)
doc[c4d.DOCUMENT_DOCUNIT] = projUnit

Cheers,

I tried several things that failed.  None of them were bracket access.  That's how I ended up at SetData.

Thank you (again).
