Converting inch Rhino model to metric Rhino model

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

I have 3d printer slicing software that requires a stl file that is generated from a metric rhino file. If I save an inch model as an stl the stl file is drastically reduced in size when loaded into the slicing software. If I design in metric units everything works fine. I have Rhino set up in inch units. I design in inch units. How can I convert an inch model to a metric model to save as an stl. I prefer to design in inch units. Any insight in how to make this conversion would be appreciated.

Just scale it by 25.4 before exporting to convert to mm

Save the file under a different name. Then change the units of the new file to mm.
Options > Document Properties > Units > Model units
Select mm
Yes to “Scale Model by 25.4”.
Export the new file.
