Hello - the Gumball is located at the center of the object(s) bounding box, not the object center.

What’s wrong with AreaCentroid?

[pascal (Pascal Golay)]

Hello - I’m not sure I follow but, AreaCentroid will get more of a geometrical center of the object - if you want the bounding box center, i.e. what matches the default Gumaball center, then there is not a clean way to get that in one step in plain Rhino - I’ll make a quick script.

use a macro like this to run it off of a button or alias:

! _-RunPythonScript "Full path to py file inside double-quotes"

Adding a “center point” option to the BoundingBox command should be considered as a future enhancement,
