Hi Jean-Sebastien,

here's my favourite solution:

Select the desired points,
press "p" to get the properties panel.
On the "Spec" tab under "Selected Points"
is an input field / 3 inputs (depending on your settings).

---- IMPORTANT::Between step----
If you have only 1 input field:
Choose under "File"->"Preferences"
in the upcoming window check "Three fields"
---- end of IMPORTANT::Between Step----

You must have the 3 fields, otherwise it's not working.

In the desired axis field type in the desired value.
Press Enter....

All selected points should be moved to the new position.

Matthias
