Surface centroid how to shift?

How do I shift the Surface Centroid in CloudCompare? I assumed the box center was the same but it is not. Any suggestions?

I need to make the surface centroid on two different models match exactly. Shifting the box center brings it close but not close enough.

Can I display the surface centroid coordinates in CC? I can only see them with a different program

What do you call the surface 'centroid'? Is it the gravity center? (then no, there's no way to display it). However if you compute them, you can the use the 'Edit > Apply translation' tool to make them match).

3D Reshaper displays the surface centroid coordinates which are different than the center box coordinates displayed in CC

Then I guess it's not the bounding-box center :p
