The origin can be seen with the Centered Object Widgets - objectnavONW78.html - as an orange center shape.

Mesh Origin Panel
Usage:
- Origin To Object - move the origin to the center of the mesh vertices or group.
- Object To Origin - move the mesh vertices or group center to the origin
- Origin To PE Selection - move the origin to the point edit selection
- Set Snap Point Widget - use a widget to select the point for snapping
- Set Snap Point - save the object location or point edit selection for snapping
- Snap Origin - move the origin to the previously selected point.
- Apply Scale Rotation - set rotation to (0, 0, 0) \ apply scale then apply rotation in 1 step
- Apply Translation - set translation to (0, 0, 0)
- Apply Scale - set scale to (1, 1, 1) and shear to (0, 0, 0).
- Toggle Origin Display - turn the display of the origin indicator off and on
Notes:
- The mesh origin is not visible in the standard object navigation widget.
- Apply Translation has some drift when used with shear values in the matrix
- These tools are not for use with parented objects. Unparent first.
- Works with simple group objects - no groups made up of other groups
- The Apply functions are similar to freeze transform script but does not use or depend on the axis tool.
- Dev Note: Cannot figure out how to apply rotation without first apply scale
