Did you actually read the post where it was explained that irrlicht does not use any specific unit. And there is no such thing as a basic unit of 3d modeling.

Maybe if we explain like this....

If you set your modeler's unit to centimeters then Irrlicht's units will be centimeters.
If you set your modeler's unit to inches then Irrlicht's units will be inches.
If you set your modeler's unit to niko's height/pi*7+14^2 then Irrlicht's units will be niko's height/pi*7+14^2.
