The standard units for all unit types can be viewed in the Unit List dialog. From the Units menu in the main RiverWare workspace, select List Available Units. At the bottom left of the resulting Units List dialog, there is a check box to Show only units that are present on the workspace. Uncheck the box to show all available unit types. The first unit listed for each unit type is the standard unit for that type.
