We have an eQUEST model here that was traced over a CAD file whose units were off. The model is 12 times as large as it should be. If there a quick way to scale down the model without having to redraw?

If you're okay working with the *.inp file, I would write a simple awk script that would
divide all the dimensions (X, Y, Z, HEIGHT, WIDTH) by 12. Shouldn't take more than a few
minutes.

Similar to Vikram's note, I drew a model in equest (CanQuest) but the drawings are in imperial and it appears the procedure states to leave the scaling of the imported cad file in metric. is there a way to reduce the size of the building as the equest area is 2332.6 M2 and the real dimensions are 942.97 M2 (10150 sq.ft)? So the building is more or less 3 X bigger than it should be.
