Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] IFC to IDF, about drawing units

[Rob Hitchcock <RJHitchcock@xxxxxxx>]

The units of measurement should be saved to the IFC file by the creating 
application (in this case ADT3.3).  If they are properly saved in the 
IFC file then IFCtoIDF will correctly convert whatever units were used 
to draw the wall into the proper units for EnergyPlus (SI).

You should make sure that ADT3.3 is correctly saving the units of 
measure to the IFC file.
