You can align an area or a layer to control points. Control points are sometimes represented on the floor plan. If you have a separate control points file, you must know which coordinates correspond to which features of the floor plan, which can represent an area or a layer.

The procedure of aligning areas and layers is very similar. The main difference is that you cannot set an elevation in layers.

If you want to align both, an area and a layer, you must align the area first.

For more information on the area and layer concept, see General Concepts.
