Location of selected object
-
Hello everyone,
I am very new to Sketchup. I am an experienced blender user and I was just wondering if there is a similar menu/panel that I am missing. So, instead of choosing an object/component/etc and moving it from point -a- to point -b-, is there any panel where I can manually enter its location, similar to what Blender has like the attached image?
What I am ultimately trying to do is writing a script(?) that moves the selected object to the world origin. I don't know if that is the right place to ask but how would you go about doing that?

Select Move Tool and then object (or vice versa) then start the move operation and type [2,2,2] to move the object 2 units the XYZ respectively.
Watch the VCB panel bottom right as you type. When you press [ then the closing ] will also appear saving you 1 extra input.
Append the unit type to move the object i.e. [2m,2m,2m] or [2",2",2"] etc

Thanks a lot for your reply, much appreciated! I have some complicated components that after selecting the -Move Tool-, I am not able to find/choose the origin of the component as it is snapping to many other faces, edges and whatnot. That's why I am looking for a ruby script that I can run after selecting the component and it will automatically move it to 0,0,0 by the component's origin point.
