Dear Math Forum,
I have a problem with translating some 3D models to 0,0,0. I have been using the following code:
ma = Mean@a; ac = # + ({0, 0, 0} - ma) & /@ a;
where "a" is a 3D model made up of many 3D coordinates. However, this code does not work - in that the new centroid (mean) of the model is not at 0,0,0. can anyone suggest an alternative method?
best wishes,
Will
