Move global coordinate system

[Mirko.Jurcevic]

Hi,

is there a way to move the global coordinate system instead of moving the whole model.

Example. I started modeling my structural model and at some point I figure out that my bottom-most point (which is ex. at -4,5m (Z)) should be at 0,00m (Z).

Is there a way to "move" the x,y,z origin to a new point?

If I move the whole model, I have to either delete and add new structural axes, or I have to give them "translation vector".

What's yours recommendation?

No.

This may help to update Structural axes:

Thanks Rafal, I was afraid so.

At least I don't have to waste any more time trying to discover that.

So what is the purpose of the toolbox for redefining coordinate system ?? Is it only for local/temporary system?
