Wish - Center Obect(s)

Rhino PaperCuts
1

A year ago Pascal sent me a macro that centered a selected object or group of objects on 0,0,0. I t wasn’t perfect, but it was extremely useful. Made a button and assigned it to the macro. I use it multiple times when I use Rhino. Pretty simple macro and I would like to propose adding it or something like it to V6.

Here you go… Nice little script. I use it all the time. It would be nice if there was an option to place the bottom of the object at z=0 rather than the center of the object at z=0.

Yeah… there is in one version of this, I’m pretty sure - I’ll take a look…

@stmoen - here’s a python script in case you want to play, and the same compiled as a plug-in to allow this to be used as a command: CenterOnOrigin Drag and drop to load the plug-in - you might want to remove the alias that the previous script installed so as to avoid a collision.
