Hi Teddy,

You can use the Transform > Move command for that kind of positioning - select the object, then run Transform > Move.

MoI will then ask you for the base point - this is the point on the object that you want to position, you can snap on to a end or midpoint or you can push the button labeled "Bounding box center" that shows up in the command options area in the upper-right corner of the main window to use the center of the object's bounding box as the spot to locate.

Then after you have picked the base point, the next prompt will come up and let you pick the target point for where you want to move it to. You can type in a numeric coordinate at this point, and you can just type in 0 and push Enter as a shorthand for 0,0,0.

Basically if you need to do more precise positioning than what you can do with quick dragging, use the Transform > Move command.

So yeah, select the object, run Transform > Move, click the "Bounding box center" button for the base point, and then type in 0 and push Enter and that should accomplish what you are describing.

I'm glad you're liking MoI!
