Hi, I'm new and have little to no clue on how to make my way around the editor.


The issue^

So I was trying to use the flip function and I was informed that I needed to have the origin snapped to the centre of the model for the swap side function to work which makes total sense.
My question is, whether there is a way for me to either snap the origin to the mesh or vice versa. Or must I do it the cumbersome way of moving all the faces and vertices to what would be a rough estimate of the centre of the origin and try to line it all back up all the texture mappings once again?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, so there's no actual snap function
But you can puta subobject or a point exactly where you need it to be.
By putting values of it's coordinates.
r for Right/Left
f for forward and backward
u for altitude

Theres is 2 types of flipping.
#1 is a full flip: which flips the whole tris of an object around it's center
#2 swap sides: which reverse the coordinates of its point's

They may look the same but they mighty be used in different cases

I see you are trying to place the steering rack in place. So I'd suggest doing the following :
Placing the Subobject coordinates at 0 for all axis
Then manually moving it's points to where it should be on the built side of drive
Then from the subobject menu > flip function : set to swap side
It should work well.
For further details of the overall functions and navigation in lfse yiu can take a look at the lfs editor manual

Thx for the tips 👍
