ModelBasepoint

The ModelBasepoint command sets a base point in a model that is used for importing or inserting the model into another.

The model base point is set to a corner of the box in model A.
When model A is imported into model B, the box corner is located at the world origin.

Steps

Notes:

  • The model base point in any model is world 0,0,0 by default.
  • The model base point has no effect in the current model. It is a reference point only used when the model is imported or inserted into another Rhino model.
  • The Export and ExportWithOrigin commands use the current model as a template to export objects. The model base point can be seen as a document setting that will be exported just like Model Units and Grid settings.
