how to type in the coordinates of a vertex?

I replied to your thread in the Wings forums.

Hold down shift while doing an operation (Work's for most dragging operations) It'll snap the movement/extrusion by 1.00 Wings units, which is 1 grid unit.

Also hold ctrl for snapping by 0.100. Holding shift and ctrl snaps by 0.010.

Hope that helped:D

thanks - replied you there.

Move Free, Tab key.

@nemyax: I know that it seems THAT obvoius, but I want to type in the absolute coordinates NOT relative (distance) :) AFAIK now it's impossible in Wings3D.

<< is it possible? >>

In general, no, because all movements are relative to the current position (assuming you don't want to do a bit of maths prior to using Tab move)

I'd suggest investigating the uses of Bounding Box Commands, Scale to a point, and Flatten (rmb option) - after establishing suitable references / datums / grids where necessary.

Some of this is covered at the linked site.
