I am exporting some of my meshes, how can I position them to the center of the world all withouht having to set the position one by one ? I know I can select all of them and position them by eye-balling it with the grab mode, but how can I position them all at once by entering the coordinates in the ''transform menu'' ?

Because for now, when i enter the coordinates, it only takes into consideration the last mesh that was selected in the group.

    $\begingroup$ Snap cursor to center, select all, snap selected to cursor. Use offset to not change their positions relative to each other. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Also press Alt while entering [0,0,0] value in the coordinates properties box, so it applies to all selected objects, instead of active one only $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Not while entering. Alt + click into the coordinate properties box = set all selected objects. After entering Alt + Enter = move all selected objects according to active object. $\endgroup$

Here are the steps I have followed

Selecting a destination (using existing origin point of that object)

  1. Select base object

  2. Press Shift + S and choose Cursor to Active

  3. Got to FINAL STEPS

If you want to move an object to another object vertex in Blender

  1. Select base object (destination)

  2. Select Edit mode and choose the destination vertex

  3. Press Shift + S Cursor to selected go to Object mode

  4. Got to FINAL STEPS

FINAL STEPS Now regardeless of what steps you follow above here are the steps to move other objects to the chosen destination above

  • Select the other object(s) (single or just shitf + click on each)

  • Press Shift + S and choose Selection to cursor (Keep offset)

Feel free to improve it since I'm very new to Blender

ALT+click doesn't work for me, SHIFT+click instead.

  • select all objects
  • define active with SHIFT+click on object
  • then SHIFT+click into location properties box
  • (release shift) enter desired value
  • and then press ALT+ENTER

All selected objects moved to specified location according to active object.
