Floor Locations

Question

Good Afternoon All, 
 Using Hevacomp design database (and CAD input) I have built a large 4 storey 'complex' building from the 1700's containing around 200 rooms, to get some idea of heat losses throughout the building. However, now the model has been produced, I can clearly see that the imported dxfs may not have shared the same 'origin' point in CAD and therefore, once I have 'traced' over them, the building almost looks like a bad game of Jenga. Is there a way manually adjust the co-ordinates of a whole floor to bring them more in-line with one another? 
 
 Cheers, 
 Dean

Dean, 
 
There is a feature that is hidden in Design Database that allows you to reposition a floor (the rooms) over a DXF.

Please be aware that this document was created - essentially - as an internal document and was only released to one or two users who were very familiar with Design Database and the principles behind it. If you choose to use these methods you do so at your own risk. 
 
The methods in the document describe how to reposition rooms after an incorrectly positioned DXF drawing has been replaced with a correctly positioned one. The routines do not reposition DXF drawings.
