I have imported a single wind turbine (dxf) into grass with v.in.dxf successfully. I need to position it on a map but do not know where to start.
From the grasswiki pages it says it is best to use XY location but how do you assign known location co-ordinates to the base of a wind turbine (without a copy of AutoCAD). I would also need to add many more wind turbines onto the same map.Do i need to use v.proj/v.transform/v.rectify?
I might also need to set the height of the turbine but again not sure which is the best action.

Not sure - better import it into your real world location and then
shift it around therein.

Say, you have a UTM location, import it into it with v.in.dxf.
Then get it into the right position with v.transform (scale x, y, and z).
I might also need to set the height of the turbine but again not sure which
