Corrider Issues

I designed a corridor and have added a corridor surface and everything looks the way I want it to except the scale of the corridor. The corridor is measuring 2' and 5/8" from one edge of pavement to the other instead of 24'. I have attached screenshot showing a zoomed in view of the corridor and another that shows the corridor in reference to outlines of where the edge of pavement would be if it were 24' across.

The units command length is architectural and the civil 3d units are set to feet. I may have changed drawing units to feet from inches after seeing the corridor is too small, but even when i recreated the corridor with the units set on feet I had the same problem.

Set the UNITS to decimal and try distance command again.

Is it 24' ?

Yes it is showing 24 now, but how do I get the rest of the objects in my drawing to the same scale?

However, the rest of the drawing is showing distances or dimensions in inches. For example the road outline is now 288 which I am assuming is in inches since that is the equivalent of 24 feet.

Where did the drawing come from?

Was the proper template used to create dwg?

Without seeing the drawing it's hard to say what the problem might be.

I imported the imperial template after the corridor was created since I could not see the corridor surface contour lines.

Would it be most helpful for the file itself or are you looking for screenshots of certain things?
