Alright. I got a very simple question but I dont seem to find a decent solution...

I'm working with Maya Complete 5.0 and CPS - I'd like to have all my vertices centered at X = 0. I hope you understand, what I mean. For mirroring purposes, all my vertices should be in a straight "line".

In Smax, there´s a feature called "Make Planar" - You just grab the vertices you'd like to make planar, push the button and - tada - it's planar - of course, if you were in an orthographic view as you pushed it.

Unfortunately, I dont find any similiar way to accomplish that in Maya. I tried to select all vertices and adjusted the X values to zero but it doesn't seem to work the way I want. It still has weird rotation aspects applied, etc.
