How Do I Realign My Object

<< < (2/3) > >>

Steve:
You can also use Object/Axis mode (hot key "O") to move and rotate the pivot on an object.

GISNut:
Thanks Steve. The Object/Axis tools are still my weakest area of use. I haven't been able to figure out how this works. I see the origin arrows move but what am I doing? There are three setting but I'm not sure how to use them. When the ruler is on and I move the origin the numbers change. My brain cant grasp what's happening. I'll keep playing with it cause it could be a game changer for me.

Steve:
The pivot is the center of the object for things like rotation ans scaling. However on further reflection it doesn't realign the bounding box which is what you origonally asked about.

GISNut:
Ahhh! A light went on. When you said "The pivot is the center of the object for things like rotation ans scaling", Steve, my brain lit up. Now I understand how to use Object/Axis tools. Your response to my problem with the bounding box may not have been on point, but, It brought me a clear and now great tool. I get the Object/Axis tools now. Now I need to clear up world/object/screen coordinates so I get even better. By the way I don't always use Tool Tips all the time but I noticed when I turn them on they turn off on their own sometimes. I currently using Build 1240 and am about to start using your new build this week.

I love Anim8or ;)

(How do I reset the origin to the center again?)
