I have a dwg that contains a surface mesh that's metric. I want to use it in Carlson but we obviously use feet. Has anyone of you converted a metric mesh surface to feet? Please help

I've never used surface meshes, but when you are importing the surface mesh can you input a scale factor? I would think that could work.

Depending on your version of Carlson, the Edit -- Scale command(s) ought to do the trick. Newer versions of Carlson have the Scale Wizard command:

If the entity truly is a mesh, you might need to explode the mesh to 3D faces before proceeding.
