On the Edit menu > Center moves any selection to the center of the world (0,0,0).

The Center tool is very handy for repositioning geometry quickly. Center works on any selection of vertices, edges or polygons. The Center option found on the Menu Bar: Edit pulldown defaults to "All" which centers the selected data on X,Y and Z axes. However, the Center command can be used to center the selected data on any single axis as well. On the modo Tools tool bar under the Basic Tab the Center popup requester provides direct access to all of the center options (X, Y, Z or All).

The behavior of Center depends on the selected data and the command arguments used. If a single vertex is selected, Center will move the vertex to position 0 for the defined axis (or axes). When an edge is selected the center point of the edge will be placed at the centered axis (or axes). With a polygon selected the polygon will be moved so that the center of the polygon rests at the center of the defined axis (or axes). When there are more than one vertex, edge or polygon selected, the center of the bounding volume of that selection will be placed at the center of the defined axis (or axes).
