Hi there guys, i'm a programmer and have to use the modelling software a bit. I've worked with 3ds Max before but now I have to do a bit of stuff in Maya.

How can I get the object (mesh) 's XYZ in a scene, is there some way to view the properties or something?

46 views and 0 replies.. seriously, folks noone uses Maya around here?

I just need to know the coordinates of an object in the scene.

Edit: missed the 2nd post.

I've never bothered doing this but you could work out its position (if it's been frozen) by creating a dummy object (frozen at 0,0,0) and snapping it to the centre of your model.

If it hasn't been frozen the coordinates are in the channel box (Ctrl+A cycles to it on the right). I'm not really sure what you're after tbh.

Create Menu -> Locator
Use V to snap it to a vertex.

that's what I needed, thanks!

For some reason the channel box wasn't active in my Maya.
