Giraffe is in Metric (meters) by default. When your project is set to Imperial (feet), the engine does some work in the background to evaluate all of the distances and areas to convert them to Imperial. However, in Flow, the engine is often working with raw geometries where it is unclear what the correct Unit of Measure might be.
