Easiest way to change families from imperial to metric

I have some families that I couldn't find the metric version of them and they are all imperial

what's the quickest way to make them metric? 

I don't want to go to project units and change every single unit one by one in the family file and then load it to project

 

Cheers,

M

Question is, Why do you want to change them to metric ? When your project is metric, these families automatically will be metric in the project. Else, changing the project units in the family editor is the only way I can think of.

I have downloaded some Daikin families from their website

 

When I uplead the condensing unit family to my metric Revit project the mechanical loads are still showing in Btu/h instead of W

Okay, I'm not familiar with MEP but it looks like these parameters where made to be in these units and I doubt they can be cahnged to other units. So maybe it's an idea to make extra parameters which calculate these parameters to metric.
