Align Import STP to Plane

I can not figure out the workflow for the following

 

Problem:  uploaded a STP file but it is not aligned to the origin and I can't figure out how to align it.

 

Uploaded a STP file to Fusion 360.

It comes in as an Assembly of many components

It is rotated in relation to the origin and I want to align to the origin.

I can Align a single component of the assembly, but I can not figure out how to Align the Assembly (all of the components)

Creating a Rigid Group of all the imported components should do it for you.  Take a look at the screencast.

I tried something similar many hours ago.

I followed you screen cast on a beat up model it worked.

Uploaded the model fresh and keep getting the "No alignment ... could be found" error.

Restarted Fusion 360.  Low and behold it works everytime now.

 

thx
