i need a solution to centering a model to the world origin. i’m not looking to align the top or bottom face to the origin plane though, i want the literal center of the model on the world origin. ive tried translate but for starters it doesnt seem to be able to snap to the core of the model, let alone the center of a face lol.

Make a sketch in the center and align you model to that sketch. Before aligning move the sketch half height of the model down.
