You can see my office building is down in the lower right-hand corner and the site plan is right in the middle of the screen, but they don't have any relationship to one another whatsoever. So what we want to do is move this site plan linked file into position so that it's correctly oriented relative to the building. In order to do that I've got a few different techniques I could try and I want to showcase two different methods with you in this video. One is going to be using the rotate command and the other will use the align command.
