Not sure what you're looking for in the editor.

From a rules standpoint, an unarmed strike is different from a natural attack.

Natural attacks follow the Primary/Secondary division.
Natural attacks don't get iterative attacks for higher BAB.
If a creature only has a single Natural Attack, it inflicts double STR bonus damage.

Unarmed Strikes are any combination of punches, kicks, knees, elbows, headbutts, etc.
Without Improved Unarmed Strike, the damage is non-lethal and making the attack provokes an opportunity attack from whatever you're attacking.
If you have higher BAB, you get extra attacks following the normal weapon progression.

That's not saying you cannot make the change if you want to.

It wouldn't be consistent with the rules of the game, but you're free to do whatever you'd like in your own game.
