Units are generally not stored in point cloud (or mesh) files. But you can deduce it either by looking at the scale bar in the bottom right part of the 3D view, or by using the Point Picking tool (picking two points will give you their distance: https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... nt_picking)

And if you refer to the display scale, you can control it with the 'Adjust zoom' tool: https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... djust_zoom
