Hi All,
I am curious to know why are there two Origin Points showing in my model?
See image below:
Thanks!

You have set a User Origin. You can return it to the Project Origin by double-clicking the User Origin icon in the standard toolbar.

I think one of them is part of the editing plane.

I don't think so.
As mentioned in earlier posts, one (the black one) is a custom user origin, and the other (the blue one) is the project origin.
When you reset the user origin to the project origin, you will just see one and it will be black.
