In your drawing and pictures it looks like all the cabinets are on some type of feet or legs, I thought all cabinets had their own base.

Great question! The legs used for kitchen cabinets, vanities, closets, garage cabinets etc. are adjustable! That means no shimming at the floor and they make quick work of leveling a row of cabinets. There is a detachable trim that clips onto the legs so that they have that finished look. Also if you ever have a wet floor for any reason you don't have to worry about your cabinets being ruined.

For measurements can I use imperial (inches) or do I have to use metric (mm)?

DIY Cabinets uses both imperial and metric, so what ever your comfortable with is just fine. For imperial all dimensions should be in only inches and for metric dimensions should only be in millimeters. Whatever you use be consistent that's what is most important.
