Option to change mesh origin to the corner in Cube and Grid nodes.

For precision modelling meshes that start at 0,0 are far more useful than those with origin at the center.

Usually when I make a Cube or a Grid in geometry nodes the setup looks like in the image.

I suggest that we add dropdown option that offset the mesh so it starts from the corner.

In a similar vein, it'd be helpful to have this option for the curve Arc primitive; it currently defaults to the center of tthe curve if it was a circle, but just yesterday I was doing a project where it'd be more helpful to be able to set the origin to one of the points.

AFAIK the philosophy in choosing which nodes or parameters are present is that they should be as atomic as possible, if you can emulate what you want with a set of 2 or 3 nodes and create a node group out of it the devs won't create a new node or add a new socket. So I wouldn't hold my breath. Cheers

for the meantime use set_position and input half the values of the size input.
