What is the unit of measurement AC3d is using ? And does x, y, z equal width, height, and length, in relation to scaling ?

While I got your attention , how can I take a straight line and curve it. What I would like to do is take something existing and modify it. Like a mesh let's pretend it's a sheet of metal. Take the sheet of metal and bend it forward from the XY view until it resembles the shape of the letter 'C' ? The thing is I am having trouble figuring out drawing curves other than; by hand, cutting ellipses and subdivision. It's not bad by hand but I can't always draw the different curves correctly with a mouse.
