Now let's add a ground plane object into the scene:

The cube is centered at position (0, 0, 0), just like the plane. But maybe it doesn't look like it to you. The Scene panel may be showing a perspective projection that renders 3D scenes onto a 2D image. The perspective distortion makes the cube appear ...
