 Hi, let me try and explain better.

 

  1. In my external 3D application I set the models axis point at: X: 0 Y: 0 Z: 0 (see image 1)

 

  1. When importing into Vue I select only the "Center Object" option.

 

Problem

  1. The model imports at the center in Vue but the models axis is no longer in the center of the model. (see image 2)

 

Option #1

First I could go into Vue's "Position" and reset the position to X:0 Y:0 Z: 0 but this doesn't work because on import Vue changed the model's axis point to be off center so the model will be off center.

 

Option #2

Next in Vue I "Manually" moved the model to the center of the viewport, I then selected the "Pivot Position" button and then set the pivot position to X: 0 Y: 0 Z: 0. The axis did move to the center of the viewport and the center of the model, but  the problem with this is if you look in Vue's "Position" panel the X, Y and Z positions are all messed up. If you reset them to X:0 Y:0 Z:0 it will move the model off center again. (see image #3)

 

So currently I have no solution.  I can't  get an imported model to be centered in Vue with an position of: X:0 Y:0 Z:0
