OK , please someone help to align two bodies? I have a sphere and a cylinder. I tried many methods to align them without success. I just want the middle of the centre of the cylinder to align in the centre of the sphere so the cylinder be something like axis in the sphere. Like the coloured image. Please anyone? It seems easy….

If you had it together why did you separate it in Shapr3d? History might help, something so simple maybe just redo it?

I will follow your steps my friend. Thank you so much! I appreciate. I did it overnight by spliting the sphere in two so i can have a face centre point. But i prefer your way. It is what i wanted!
