lost model in viewport

[quarel]

Hi all!

I need some help! I imported the dxf model into Houdini but it is very far from central grid. Simply it's lost somewhere in space . I can focus of course on imported model or on grid plane . but how to center the model into grid without manualy trough move handle?

Go inside the object node for your geo and append a transform SOP.

After you have done that, you can use the origin() expression to query the objects position in world space and transform your geometry to the center by negating that number.

So tx, ty and tz would be:

-origin("","..", "TX")
-origin("","..", "TY")
-origin("","..", "TZ")

You can center the pivot point of the geometry using $CEX, $CEY, $CEZ in a the same transform SOP.

or just use -$CEX, -$CEY, -$CEZ in the transform SOP
