Hi, first i would like to say this is by far the best and most user friendly 3D software i have ever used. I have already created a set of stairs almost identical to the ones in my house. Anyway, the problem is that i saved my stairs and when i did they were nowhere near the 3D grid because i was going to draw something else but just opened another window and created a few things then imported my stairs and when i moved the stairs to the 3D grid all the other cameras stayed where i had imported the stairs so i had to move out really far to see all the objects together but consequently they were the size of a pin prick, what im trying to say is how do i move the individual cameras so that the point of origin is 0 on all axis ? anyone that has read this far, could you please help, cheers, matt :)

Welcome Matt!

press 'f' to centre a view over the current selection. Drag the right mouse button to zoom in and out and use the cursor keys (or middle mouse button) to drag a view around.

You can move objects with the Move-to inputs in the control panel. Press the > button to fill the fields with the current position, edit the numbers to where you want your object to go and press the MoveTo button.
