im trying to get an extrusion thru the center of the two bodies (image) but this is easy to do if they are positioned in x,y,z = 0,0,0 aka origin. I havent been able to think of a solution for this as there isnt a button for it “return to origin” how can i still do this anyway? ive also tried the “align” option but that doesnt really work in my situation. That helps more with flat surfaces
