Adjust assembly dimensions

Post by Folini »

Hi, new to FreeCAD so some terminology problem, hope to be understandable!

I want to carbon copy my house project with a real world model (point cloud).
I have two 3d files, one .obj exported from sweet home 3D and one dxf.
Those two models have different dimensions and I want them to match perfectly.

I'm thinking of selecting 3 or more points on first model and match them on the second. With those FreeCAD should scale and pan the second model to fit the first one.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance

This doesn't work like that. You have to measure yourself and calculate the scale or do it by Expressions.

Thanks... Is there a way to fix the position at least of one point in the two assembly?
