Change Contours from metric to imperial

Hi guys, this may not be possible, but some may know if its possible. I was given an autocad file from an architect in Venzuella and I am using autocad 2014, and the whole drawing is in metric, all the countours are 1 meter apart in height difference. The problem I am having is that in my class, we are required to make a model at 1/16" = 1'-0" the only problem is it doesnt convert right, and I am left with extra contours and an inaccurate model. Is there a way to have autocad make new contours at 1' height difference instead of the meter? I remember I saw someone bring an autocad file into rhino and had rhino make a terrain with the countours than she had rhino produce new contours at like 2' intervals, unfortonatly I don't know how to do that in Rhino, and didn't know if it was possible for autocad to do something, please any help would appreciated, thank you.

What kind of contours? Are you talking about Civil 3d or just 2d linework in standard Autocad?

Its in 2D autocad, from the plan view it appears to be flat, but when looking at a side view it actually appears to have height assigned to them. I will attach the file so anyone can take a look and see.
