Hi Walt,

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.

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.

Regards
Jochen

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.

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.

Is there in fact any such easy way to do this thing?
