Place imported group at ORIGIN and zoom to it - like DWG import #19

Closed thomthom closed 11 years ago

Importing some sample STL files and was very confused as I often didn't see where the model ended up. I suggest we do what the DWG importer does and place the imported instance at ORIGIN and zoom the camera to it.

Maybe make the place at ORIGIN an option - like DWG. I can see it can have its uses.

I agree, let the user have the option to keep it, or remove it. I use both fairly often on DWG imports. (though admittedly I never use .stl at this point).
