The Re-Center feature does not appear to allow arbitrary positioning of the objects center. Is there a method for moving the object's center to where I need it to be?

One trick is to temporarily move the object or add an extra vertex, adjust the center, then return the object to it's original position.
Otherwise, I just posted a collection of plug-ins I wrote for adjusting pivots: http://independentdeveloper.com/arch...in_pivot_tools This set lets you: - Set the object centre to the selected vertex - Enter a pivot location manually - Rotate around the pivot numerically (you can drag rotate around the pivot in AC3D already, but the numeric rotate always goes around the centroid. This rotates numerically around the pivot instead.) - Zero the pivot. This is a convenience function, useful for setting up your root node. There's one more I didn't upload; it lets you transfer a pivot from one object to another. I didn't upload it because it's a bit touchy, and I'm not sure if it's really useful to anyone other than me. ![]() |

Thanks for the workaround Lisa. I've downloaded the plugin but I'm not sure if this will be Mac compatible. Did you write the code with Mac users in mind?

Oh, no. Sadly, I don't have a Mac to compile against. Let me ask around and see if I can find someone who does.
