Creating pivot offsets
 
 
 

There are two ways you offset a transformation pivot from its object: in the Viewer window or properties window:

To create a pivot offset in the Viewer window:

  1. Select the object with the pivot you want to offset.
  2. Switch to Pivot in the Viewer window Object Mode selection menu.
  3. Select Translate.
  4. In the Viewer window, select and drag the pivot to reposition it. To specify exact XYZ coordinates, enter them in the Global/Local/Layer fields at the bottom of the Viewer window.

    Translate the Pivot handles to move the pivot.

To create a pivot offset in the Properties window:

  1. Select the object with the pivot you want to offset.
  2. Open the Properties window (or the Properties tab in the Asset browser).
  3. Switch to All (Type) in the Select Property View menu.
  4. Expand Transformation Pivots, expand Rotation Pivot or Scaling Pivot and specify coordinates in the Auto Offset XYZ fields.
    Note

    You can only offset rotation and scaling values.
