Info about assembly + other: Solidworks

Hi everyone

I would like to know if it is possible to center a body when I import it to make my assembly.
Let me explain, the top and right shot is OK. But the front shot is always offset, I don't understand.
I would like it to be centered.

In addition, I have a "problem" with coercion.
I'm working on a ring project, I made a diamond with a software that I saved in .stl and that I opened with solidworks to save it in .parts.
I'll want to constrain my diamond on one part of the ring, but when I select the diamond, there's like a cube around it, and I can't select the tip of the diamond.
So I played with the movement and rotation but hey...

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards.

Hello @toto_du_95 

Your share registered via your imported STL 

Check your feature manager to see if you have a volume or surface area

if you have blue lines it's surface 

so you have to sew everything and create a volume after it will be possible to create X constraints and construction line to position the said part well

an image where the file will allow a + adapted response

 Hello@toto_du_95  

What you got is only a graphic body 

When you open your STL file, you have to click on "Options" and choose "Volume"

You will get a solid and then you have access to the edges of the triangles and the vertices

Thank you for your answers.

I'll put you a picture.

" When you open your STL file, you have to click on "Options" and choose "Volume"

What should you open it with? Solidworks? or by default? I've never done that.

Kind regards.

Hello 

Volume tests first, then surface tests if too complex.

Kind regards

Hello,

In SOLIDWORKS, you do File/Open

You select your STL file

You click on the "Options" button that appears and you can select volume

See you soon

Hello to you, (and sorry for the delay in replying)

Thank you for your answers!

I tried as you told me, and it's OK, for my next project, I would do it like this.

Kind regards.
