Learn about the primary concepts related to positioning 3D objects in a 3D modeling workspace. In this video, we'll cover key concepts like Pivots (aka reference points), The Cartesian Plane, and the Bounding Box.

We'll cover the very basics of what makes a 3D scene so you can get familiar with navigating a 3D software.
