ArcScene 10 Edit Placement bounds

I'm having difficulty moving this building(see attached image) to it's correct location. I imported the building from sketchup.

When I originally imported it I did it as a multipatch. This allowed me to move it using 3D Editor> Edit Placement Tool. It only worked if I put a file of the entire world in to make the extent/domain big enough since the building appears somewhere in South America and needs to be moved to North America. The problem with this was importing it as a multipatch it lost it's surfaces and appeared in all gray.

I then imported it as a File Geodatabase so that it would preserve the surfaces on the buildings. I also put the file of the world in the Geodatabase to try to move it like I had before. When I try to move it though it gave me the following error.

"the feature(s) could not be moved. The coordinates or measure are out of bounds"
Does anyone know how to change the bounds/domain?

I found this article but it's for version 8 of arc and does not work for 10, does a newer version of this article exist?

Any help would be much appreciated

Thank You,

This error occurs when a coordinate of a feature is beyond the extent of the feature class domain. This could be resolved by exporting the feature class to a new feature class and increase the domain values (XY, M, & Z domain from environment setting)

You can change XY Domain in: Feature Class to Feature Class > Environment Setting > Geodatabase Advanced > Output XY Domain.

Please note that:
This only applies if the output is in a pre-9.2 geodatabase or has an unknown coordinate system. If the output geodataset is in a 9.2 (or later) geodatabase and has a known coordinate system, the XY Domain settings will be ignored entirely.
Here's more about output XY (Domain Environment setting)
