Custom FBX Piperack not working correctly

Hello,

 

I'm trying to duplicate this youtube instructional video for the pipe rack. He uses a road style with a custom FBX file as a decoration to mimic a pipe rack. His looks like the below. Mine is the second picture. For some reason mine has two racks that are offset from each other. Hope that makes sense.  

 

Also any tips on getting the correct scaling from autocad into infraworks. Is it best to use certain unit types?

I think that was my video from a few years ago?

Have you played with the offset values?

The first time I exported the piperack steel from Plant 3D as Structural Components. I tried exploding them and exporting them as 3D solids and that did the trick.
