Is your feature request related to a problem?

yes, the coordinate system is not logic at all, and really annoying to use.
Also affect model resizing up and down, a nightmare when we have assembly and want to just resize a part or place a part on plate.
When I’ve to add a modifier or a negative part I’m going mad how nearly impossible it is to place the part at the exct desired place.
Seems crazy that Z = 0 doesn't put the item on the plate.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Please put the Z at the bottom of the part, not in the middle of it.

Or at least let user decide where he want the Z position with a setting in Preferences.

Thanks in advance !

I've thought the same thing and thought it was just me - that I'd get used to it.
But yeah, any other slicer 0,0,0 is the lower left corner at the base.
If I place an object at 0,0,0 I expect it to be on the bed, in the home corner.
This measuring from center of object in all dimensions is wacky.

So I'd submit its not just the Z that needs to be moved, but XYZ all need to be adjust to bottom, lower, left like any other slicer.

Fully agree, check my other post regarding the X0 and Y0 location : #5313
