      There seem to be a lot of old threads about this without any great answers.

      I create a box with unit size 1, 1, 1. I put it at the origin.
      Now I make a copy of that box and move it to another point in 3d space.

      How can I find the position of that box? If that doesn't make sense given that a box is made up of different vertices, how can I find the position of those vertices? Which tool lets me see the world vertex position? What if I make it a component? How do I see the position of the component?

      These seem like simple things to do but I can't find a way. They are instrumental in level design and accuracy.

      Thank you πŸ˜„

        This is not sufficient ?
        So this point of this component is at X= -2.18 , Y = 3.12, Z = 0 for example πŸ˜„

          That's exactly what I needed. Thanks! πŸ˜„

          I will definitely try the script, too. Thank you both.

            This can also help you πŸ˜„

            Axes Tool by Thomthom for Automatic Center Components axes!

            View axes by Menu Display / Animation/ Parameters / Components / Display Components axes

            The drawing of line is made in Edit Component!
            Idem for the Label Text!
            Mode XRay can also help! Not Used here! Just Hide Front Face! πŸ€“
