Import the DEM with a data clip into a default NCS meters.dwt set to the appropriate coordinate system. Then check that it imported correctly. Next export out a LandXML file of that surface and import into your standard usft .dwg. C3D converts LandXML units from metric to imperial and vice versa efficiently.
Thanks for your reply. This is a good description of how to import a DEM and convert the horizontal alignment. However, my problem is still the same. This process does not covert the vertical surface from meters to feet. The horizontal surface is correctly converted to feet, but the vertical remains in meters. BTW, the DEM I have is a GeoTIFF.
Dear Sir/Ma'am, Here is simple method for converting autoCAD drawing from Meters to feet: 1. If the drawing is in metric units or in meters - use 39.3700787401 factor for scaling (In CAD : Command scale-select object to scale-then fill scale fator 39.3700787401) Drawing will scaled to feet unit. 2.

When changing the units to feet/inches, it converts the meters to feet rather than interpreting the original coordinates as feet. I use a FARO Focus 3D, and I wanted to export from FARO software in feet, but when importing into Recap it would for example show a dimension that is known to be 10ft as 10m.
I haven't looked at the drawing. But I'm thinking that you either started with a foot based template or imported a foot based Alignment Label Style. Check the alignment style and make sure it is set to display in meters. If you started with an imperial template. It's best to start a new drawing from a metric template and insert all your work up ...
Scale your drawing using one of the following factors: ****1 meter = 3.28083989501312 foot.****. - Inverse = 1 foot = 0.3048 meter. After you have scaled the drawing to feet, your dimensions may need to be adjusted to that scale. (Most times they may not) Do that in Dimension Style Manager under the tab Primary Units.
How do I change my units from Meters to Feet/Inches in Navisworks Freedom 2012?
At the command line, enter SCALE. At the Select objects prompt, enter All, then hit Enter. Enter 0,0 for the base point. When prompted for scale factor, enter the appropriate scale factor for the units to be converted 1 Meter = 3.28 Foot. Verify the change by using the "DIST" command.
For information, the multiplier to convert feet into meters is 0.3048. The multiplier to convert meters into feet is 3.281 (3.2808333 your precision). 08-22-2014 05:04 PM. The Warsaw convention of 1959 agreed to the legal conversion factor of 0.3048 meters in one foot.
