# Special Points

Special Points can be used for any purpose when you want to describe a point within your model. Common applications include:

1. Defining the model's center of mass.
2. Using two special points to describe an axis of rotation.
3. Describing the position where weapon fire should begin.
4. Describing the position of a sub-model that might be carried by your model.

Special Points can be created by right-clicking a folder in the Object Browser and selecting New Special Point At Locator. Special Points are positioned at the Locator and can be re-positioned at any time by right-clicking the Special Point and selecting Set Special Point At Locator Position.
Special Points can also be color coded, as they appear in the Orthographic View windows, by right-clicking the Special Point and selecting a color from the menu.
