Help with aligning

SketchUp Pro
1

I drew a shelter on a separate skp file and then imported it over to my main skp file. However, after using the rotate and move tool I can’t seem to align the model with the rectangle box drawn below. Am I overlooking something here?

I think your main problem is that you haven’t drawn a rectangle as a reference for where you want the shelter. It’s a parallelogram.

So which edge do you want the shelter aligned with?

Thanks for pointing it out that it’s a parallelogram, I don’t think I would have figured it. Now that I know the issue I should be fine with aligning the model myself.

With that said, may I know what tool you are using to measure the angle?

I used Angular Dimension 2 from Sketchucation.
