Change imported parasolid units

Still getting familiar with all the settings in Creo. I have an imported parasolid part that has SI default units, and I'd like to change the default units. I figured out how to do it for new parts, but I can't figure out how to change the units for imported parts. I can take measurements, but I would like to export the mass properties in U.S. units.

Is there a way to do this, or do I need to open a new model and import the parasolid into that .prt file?

You should be able to go to FILE - Prepare - Model Properties and select Change for the units and then pick your desired units and then SET.

Try creating a start part or assembly with the unit system you need first and then import the data.

Create a new model using the start part

Import the parasolid data into this model

This should implement the unit conversion upon importing the file
