I accidentally modeled using incorrect units. Can I scale my STAAD.Pro model in any way?

Here are the steps to scale the model

Close the STAAD model and create a new model.

Go to Geometry > Run Structure Wizard  to bring up the Structure Wizard program. Change the model type to Import CAD Models.

Double click on the STAAD.Pro logo and browse to the original STAAD file that you want to scale.

Click on Open.

Once the model comes in, go to the top menu inside StWizard and choose Edit > Scale.

In the box provide appropriate factors for XScale, YScale and ZScale and click on Ok.

Go to File menu inside StWizard and choose Merge Model With STAAD.Pro model.

Choose the appropriate X, Y and Z location where to place the model inside the new STAAD.Pro file
