We have the car image set up so that it sits right in the middle of the world. The 3D cursor is currently set to the world origin, which is the center of the scene where all axes intersect. on the keyboard to bring out a pie menu and select 3D Cursor:ģD Cursor is the best option in our case, because of the way we have our car image set up.
