The Wave Directions graphic is drawn centred at [0, 0, 0] by default, there is no way to change this. Naturally the directions that the waves are acting in is the same everywhere anyway.

I appreciate your response, I like the fact that you mentioned directions where the wave act is the same everywhere.
But, sometimes back I used a model with all the loadings acting at the center as shown below.
I tried offsetting the XY coordinate in design modeller, but i only succeeded in offsetting the axes bit not the point of action.
Thank you.
since the location will not affect the simulation.

In previous versions we drew a separate set of wave direction arrows at the CoG of each structure, but this often obscured the structure axes which are also drawn at the CoG.
If you position the structure in DesignModeler so that the CoG is at [0, 0, VCoG] then the wave direction arrows will be drawn at the centre.
