you shouldn't use dims, as that is an the absolute value of the distance between the max and min. What you are looking for is the point inbetween the max and min, which would be
center := r3.Vector{(meta.MaxX + meta.MinX)/2.0, (meta.MaxY + meta.MinY)/2.0, (meta.MaxZ + meta.MinZ)/2.0}

for example, if MaxX was -2, and MinX was -5,
dim/2 = 1.5 (half of the length of X)
center = -3.5 (the center point between -2 and -5)

I just put this up for @micheal-parks to discuss with you, but happy to make that change if we think that's more accurate!
