Windows 10: 3d Builder object positioning question

In 3d Builder, I'm trying to accurately position objects in relation to other objects. Clicking and dragging works to get it close, but to get it exact, I enter the X,Y,Z coordinates. For example, if I create a cube and position it at 0,0,0, does that position the center of the cube at those coordinates? Or the upper, left, top corner of the cube? It appears that it uses the center of the object. So if I want the object to rest on the build plate, the z value has to equal the height of the object, otherwise it "sinks" halfway into the build plate if I use a z value of 0. Correct?

Object in Microsoft 3D Builder

Could you tell me how to make annotations if I want to show dimensions of the object in Microsoft 3D Builder?

I’d like to demonstrate the object with its size on a 3D viewer. Thank you.

 

3D builder objects have different dates

Hi,

The default file extension for models created using 3D Builder is .3mf or EMF format.

A temporary save or copy of the scene is created by 3D Builder in case you close 3D Builder without saving. The default name of this temporary save is
paperboat.3DBuilder.3mf.

You can also use this temporary save as a new object for a new scene. That is why you see it on the recent scenes list.
