Please explain to how to move this in edit mode


The issue is when I am in edit mode and I zoom into my mesh the move location is off of the screen so I have no way to scale just one axis of my object without zooming way out which i dont want to do. This is incredibly annoying. Also transforming the median point messes up the mirror modifier so thats not an option

Hi, just use transform pivot point instead of 3d cursor?
Or move the cursor to the point.

To be precise: top right Options → Transform: Affect Only: → enable: Origins

(And why would it mess up the mirror mod on X when moved in Z ?)

Thank you for the replies. I figured out a work around.
