Descartes Vertical Scale of DEM File

I'm trying to import a DEM file into Descartes and whenever the .stm file is created, the vertical scale is exaggerated. I believe it is similar to another defect already identified (Defect # 62591) where the vertical scale is off by the conversion factor of 3.2808 (meters to feet). Is there any reasonable way to scale the DEM/stm file in the vertical direction but maintain the horizontal and vertical?
