I just started a new truck project made from scrapyard parts (like Scrapheap Challenge, or Junkyard Wars), and I was wondering... how do you move objects? Like I just put a body onto a frame, but it's just a little bit off centre. :lol:

Open part/model one
select all vertices (Alt+A)
save vertex group (menu > groups > vertex groups)
save the model
close the model

Open part/model two
select all vertices (Alt+A)
save vertex group (use a different name than the first time)
save the model
close the model

Open model one again
On the menu, Insert > model > choose the second model

You will see both models

Now, the one you want to move, goto > groups > vertex group and load the saved group

Then you have two choices

a) on the menu > Models > translate

or

b) with the keyboard > Alt+(x key, or y key, or z key) - shift too will reverse the direction
