Download the pdf version, it'll let you modify the scale length, in inches or mm.

No problem. The StewMac one works if you convert 34" to 863.6 mm yourself and type that in.

Take inches and multiply by 25.4 to get millimeters.

get a stew mac template, or take the imperial measures you have, and convert them with this http://convert.french-property.co.uk/index.php to get millimeters.
