Hi guys, I would like to ask for adding a button or pop up option for move a body to the origin (or from its center or from a selected point as the align tool does) but being able to choose the origin without moving to a cardinal view.

I think that basic alignment and easy center tolls should be implemented to ease the compositions from mutilple bodies and when importing models from other projects.

thanks!

Hi,  
You can put bodies in a folder and Align it, no ?
