Changing The Relative Copy Point

Hey, a while back I was playing on a coop-edit server with this guy. I have been playing Sauerbraten for almost 2 years now, but back then I was still pretty new to the whole mapping thing. He taught me how to do many simple things, such as how to raise your floatspeed, how to select corners using the middle mouse wheel button, and how to make ladders.

However, there is one thing he taught me that I fail to remember (and after extensive searching, fail to discover). It is how to move/change/select the red cube that always appears on the corner of your selection when selecting cubes. I like to call this the relative copy point, because this is where your cubes will be pasted at if you were to copy the selection and paste it somewhere.

Lately I have been using ladders quite often, and it is very troublesome when that red cube in the corner when I select the ladder for copying is somewhere I don't want it to be. This makes it very hard to copy and paste ladders. I have been trying to figure out, once again, how to change the position of this red cube!

If you do not know what I am talking about when I say "red cube", start cube and create a new map. Create a medium sized cube in the air and select the whole thing. Look at each corner of the cube and eventually you should see a red wire frame cube stuck inside one of the corners. This is what I want to change.

Please, do not say this is impossible, because I KNOW it's possible. I did it before, and used to know how.

And please, I don't care if it is really simple or if I could have Googled it (because I did), just give me the answer.
