#Centering Models

Hi! I'm a new modeler and I have only ever modeled in Maya, so Blockbench is kind of a huge change for me.

How do I center a model? It LOOKS centered to me, but when I use Mirror Model to try to add eyes, that reveals just how off-center my poor Syrupent really is.

Centering every cube's pivot and setting them all to 0 just breaks the model. Notice how one eye is further from the head than the other.

FAQ
Blockbench: Precise Movement

To move/scale cubes in smaller increments than 1 you can hold the following key combinations:
-Shift: 0.25
-Ctrl: 0.1
-Ctrl+Shift: 0.025
If those default values are not to your liking you can change these incrementsin File > Preferences > Settings > Snapping

PS: If you want to allign 2 elements we suggest using the vertex snapping tool instead (see !faq vertex-snapping for more info)
Disclaimer: The modded entity format does NOT allow decimal cube sizes and neither does the Optifine Entity format if box-uv is enabled!

did you translate a rotated cube?

just change the position manually to be a nice number, then move it into place afterwards
