Default Numeric Location

Hello. I am plotting some objects into modeller numerically (according to some coordinates that I have - molecules, not that exciting) I think that I may have entered a couple of numbers wrong but can't seem to find an info box that shows the location of the object as it originally was entered. Any ideas? Does lightwave not use a single x y and z point for zero?

I'm pretty confued by this, any help would be great.

Thanks

I'm not certain of the keystrokes to bring up the dialog as I don't have a copy of LW with me at the moment, but there is a point/polygon statistics panel that you can bring up (Hotkey is 'i' I think). If you have points/polygons selected, then this panel will show you the XYZ coordinates of the vertex (vertices and colour for polygons).
