Summary

  • replace the incorrect claim that Zoo automatically interprets STEP units
  • state that STEP values use the current KCL file or scene unit without metadata rescaling
  • link the overview to the detailed units-and-scale workflow

Why

The deployed import overview contradicts the maintained STEP-specific page and current Modeling App behavior. A 50 mm STEP part imported into an inch scene can measure 50 in, so the incorrect overview claim can produce a 25.4x scale error.

Closes #1031.

Related work

PR #991 includes the same unit correction inside a broader imported-geometry rewrite, but it currently conflicts with main. This PR isolates the deployed unit-guidance defect in one owned documentation file so it can be reviewed and merged independently.
