A frequently asked question : Is there an easy way to move an object to the World Origin. If I am not wrong, this is not implemented yet… Having access to a native tool with a behaviour similar to the nice script posted by Helvetosaur would be so helpful… [image] Is there a shortc…

if you drag and hold an object either just a mouse drag or with the command move from any point and hit 0 space/enter/rightclick (as in coordinate) it will relocate your object at the desired point of origin. that also works with gumball, drag the object at the gumball center and hit 0. you can als…

@encephalon Correct, but this approach drives to a manual procedure. On the other hand, it is not always easy to find center of the BB depending on the type of object . Then, if the object is far away from the origin, travelling across the view can be constraining. The questioning is : Does it m…

i honestly dont think it would make much difference, the methods described above are fast and sufficient. and a native command would imply selecting the object, hitting a command button which in most cases would be 2 buttons. using the methods described above have the same amount of steps. what i w…

Thank you for you answer. You are pointing the number of steps, which is one concern. I am pointing the fact that using the Move tool implies having to define a starting point, which in most cases, when we want to move the object to the origin correspond to the center of the BB or the Volume Centr…

[image] RodolfoSantos: Works well with one object. What if you start to work with a set of objects that are selected by names, colours… then you probably will need to call the move command or got for the Gumball. do you really want to stack several objects simultaneously in the origin? and t…

[image] encephalon: you really want to stack several objects simultaneously in the origin? and then? who is going to clean it up? :smiley: Stacking is naturally not the intent. When selecting multiple objects, the Gumball permits to move the group from the BB center to ie. layout on the gr…

Dear Rodolfo you may also consider: _boxEdit _align check the help for all the power those tools will give you. and i think @encephalon gave you a great answer. - i think his first post is the solution. - you should mark it as so. Rhino offers a huge amount of approaches from macros, shortcuts…

Just wanted to throw in here that objects in Rhino do not have an implicit ‘center’. It may look that way when you select the object and the Gumball centers on it, but in fact the ‘center’ you see - which is more properly called the ‘origin’ - actually belongs to the Gumball and the bounding box th…

then just dragg the object without using move in the end you will have to select the object meaning you click on it. its all the same plus minus a few extra turns in the brain at max

dragging the gumball centerpoint and hitting 0 is pretty much that.

also check this, you are not alone in that request. if it makes more sense i really dont see much difference…

edit: ok i guess the last link might be a bit different contextually.
