How to center an object ? Oct. 22, 2025, 5:54 p.m.

1. Check your 'object' transform (translate) is 0, 0, 0. This is the 'folder' in which your geometry exists.

2. At geometry level there is a very useful SOP : 'match size'. See: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/sop/matchsize.html [www.sidefx.com]
You may have to use this higher up in your network as I think that cup has a handle that will throw off the 'centring' if you have that created.
