# Correcting scattered models

When opening multiple models simultaneously, it may occur that one or more models are positioned far away from the other models. This could be caused by a wrong export setting in the original authoring software, or because of miscommunication between different stakeholders. If this happens you will be notified by a dialog box, indicating the rough coordinates of each model. In the image below, all models are located around the coordinate system origin (x = 0, y = 0, z = 0) except for the architectural model which is located around x = 418 miles and y = 79 miles. You can select one or more models that are located far away and, if you have the appropriate editing rights, bring them closer to the other models.

Once this step is complete, the selected models will be moved closer to the other models. **This will only be a rough reposition**, i.e. you will still need to move (and possibly rotate) the model(s) to move them to their proper location. You can use the [Align](https://help.qonic.com/documentation/qonic-application/modeling/modifying/align) tool and/or the [Transform](https://help.qonic.com/documentation/qonic-application/modeling/modifying/transform) tool for this.
