Hi Kevin,
Is the data all metric - X, Y & Z values - or just the Z values?
I'll assume it is all metric, and the following is based on that assumption.
There may be a tool within InRoads to make that Metric->Imperial translation, but I didnt see it just now.
What if you create a new MicroStation file - a metric file. And then set the geo-coordinate system of the metric DGN file to the same system that the DEM was based on. Save settings.
Then write all the metric DTM triangles into the file.
You could then change the geo coordinate system to the imperial system that you want the data to be in.
That should offer you the option to convert the data that is in the file - which is the DTM triangles. Do that - convert the graphical data.
Now create a new DTM by extracting the triangles from the DGN file.
As these have been converted to imperial when you changed the coordinate system, I think that should give you the DTM you want and the contours generated will be imperial.
HTHs,
Michael
