Hello,
Why after I change the force units from Display options to KN/m, it doesn't get changed when I try to input the force and it requires me to put it in kip/in?
You can change base unit of the program using steps mentioned in the below link.

Apart from that any time you can change the input unit from the below option.
Please let me know if this helps.
