Hi, I draw buildings using Shapr3D and I add standard doors and windows by importing them into my design. Now I can drag the windows/doors into the place I want but for another project I need to know the X Y & Z co-ordinates I placed the objects. Is there a way Shapr3D tells me that?  
I know it gives me a mm no. At the bottom but no co-ordinates. Can anyone help please?

Shapr3D doesn’t have an absolute coordinate system. All x, y, and z positions are relative to other items in the design.

Thanks for that info, If they are relative to other items in the design, do they show any co-ordinates and If so where would I find that info. Any co-ordinates would be helpful?

If you select two items (edges, faces, objects), various measurements are available at the bottom of the screen.
