Measuring Units in Feet

[Teriander]

How can I set Maya to scale objects based on the U.S. Measuring system unit of Feet and Inches? Like in 3D Max I can set the units to feet and actually enter 5'11" and it creates that object true to scale. Can I do that in Maya? If so, HOW and WHERE do I set this???

You can change Maya's scale to feet from the settings preference but it won't let you put in values in terms of feet and inches.
