How to center imported files back to SketchUp's cetnerpoint?
-
Hi All - I urgently need a tip from the experts here
I have imported a big number of ifc building files - all of these files were obviously originally placed in their original geo-locations, many kilometers away from SketchUp's cetnerpoint which is causing the well-known problems now. Is there any trick to move these building models back to SketchUp's cetnerpoint now? -
Chris Fulmer's Center on Origin will move them all for you.

You can set it as a shortcut, so you can select them in the outliner and move them with a keystroke.

Hi and thank you Box
I installed the recommended plugin immediately 
I'm not sure if I'm on the right path now because I don't see which tool you trigger - if it's the plugin shown below, I can't get any origin-centering done with it so far with any of the shown options.

Did you restart sketchup after installing it? That is sometimes needed.
It should look like this.
