Move Pivot

Jimww 11 years ago updated by GameDraw 11 years ago 4

Whenever I try to move the pivot, the object jumps around and I'm unable to do so (latest osx, gamedraw pro).  Does this feature work?

Hi Jim,


Make sure your handles are on the pivot\Global mode, this should solve the issue for you, if any other than that it will not be correctly handled.


What we will do is that we will try to make this change automatically but as I know for now there is no exposed API for this by Unity but we will try to do our best to workaround it.

I had read that and did make sure that I was set at pivot/global before even clicking on the gamedraw icon.  I can move the pivot along the x axis but when I try another, the object wobbles as I move it and then it just flies out of view and I have to undo.

Can you send us the object to take a look at or a video capture of what is happening, thanks in advance.

Sure, I just imported this free Sailboat and tried to set the pivot point on it. Thanks for your help.

Also, If I reset the origin of this 3ds within Blender and then import the object into Unity, I seem to be able to move the pivot with gamedraw, but then if I detach a sail from the boat model, using gamedraw, I have the same problem moving the pivot for that newly created sail object.


EDIT: After detaching the sail from the boat, gamedraw put the object at the root in the hierarchy and I had immediately placed it as a child of the boat.  So when I edited the pivot point as a child of the boat, that was what caused the pivot point adjustment to go crazy in this case. I still think it's funky the way it works, but  at least I can work with it now.
