How to find the middle of a part

How do I find half of a part? Like, if I want to put an object in the middle of a part, how do I find the exact location of the middle? How do I put the object there after?

How to find the middle of a part:

1 - Make your move snap to grid 0
2 - Duplicate the part you want to find the middle of
3 - Click on the scale tool
4 - Hold control on your keyboard while scaling the part to be thinner.

Doing this will make it smaller in both directions evenly, making the part be exactly in the middle. Now, just make the part slightly taller or change the color to see where it’s marked in the middle.

The Align Tool under the Model tab is great for this. You can also find the exact position, or center, of a part within the Properties widget.
