<p>Hi Walt,</p>
<p>I would load the dxf file with the modified building in QCAD and
move/translate the data there. After saving the modified dxf file,
this should import in QGIS at the correct location.</p>
<p>You will need two reference points from the existing building
structure - you could for example export the existing data set
from QGIS to dxf and load it in QCAD as a reference or write the
coordinates of two points out manually in QGIS.<br>
</p>
<p>Regards<br>
Jochen<br>

<div dir="ltr">I've received a 3D AutoCAD file from an architect
that i managed to convert into 2D .dxf format and import into my
QGIS project, but it is out-of-scale and out-of-place, so i
guess i need to add some georeferencing coordinates to the
file.

</div>
<div>This should be easy enough, since it's an accurate
representation of a building that's already in the project
-with an additional wing tacked on- so i'm thinking i could
just use a few corners of that existing buildings as ground
control points, and map them to the corresponding corners on
this .dxf model, then maybe all other co-ordinates could be
automatically generated by some tool, if i could just find the
right one for the job. </div>

<div>Is there in fact any such easy way to do this thing?</div>
