Absolute commands - move

[DGDXGDG]

I have a lot of objects need to put to precisely position, each object have its position to move ex: 0.023465, 0.779350, 6.484705
but wings 3d's Absolute commands - move option, the reference point is not 0,0,0 but maybe vertex center? ex:1.111111, 2.222222, 3.333333
so i only come up with 2 way:
1.manually calculate : 1.111111+0.023465, 2.222222+0.779350, 3.333333+6.484705......and fill them back into Absolute commands - move
2.create a template face which has a vertex at 0,0,0......combine the temp face with the object......select 0,0,0 vertex, Absolute commands - move with 0.023465, 0.779350, 6.484705(check move object)........then delete the temp face

any ideas to do it faster/easier?
how i wish we have a plugin that set the reference point to 0,0,0

i don´t know what exactly your goal is...

but if you want to move objects to exact positions you can use the
Move To BB
command to get what you want.

take a look to puzzled paul´s tutorial about "Move To BB":

It uses the coordinates from the centre of the object.

You can do it directly in the Absolute-Move dialog - Wings3d's input fields accept Math in Dialog Boxes.
But, have a option for choose the reference point would be a good addition.

That would be nice, yes.
Similar to the Abs/scale right-click option "with center picking". And/Or an option to just use the grid origin as center.

I implemented that new option for the MMB. pull request #72

Download from my Google Drive.
