When I import a object (this time it is 3ds), it it often is hard to find it, because they are big as hell, so the camera cant "see" them or they are so far away from the center of my grid.
I can see the object in the outliner and select it, and when I hit "F" It just flashes by and dissapers. sometimes Im lucky and manage to get it still after messing with the camera and different views, and then make it smaller and drag it towards the center.

Is there any easy way to select it in the outliner and center it to the grid.
I know I have read about this problem before but I cant remember where.
