i’m trying to align also move some props in game but many of them have pivot points that make this impossible, and i can’t seem to figure out how to change the pivot point. it seems as if some of the pivot points are just randomly placed on the prop, with some even floating out in space completely apart from the prop itself.

i have tried every option under the right click menu “pivot” section and they all change nothing except for the option which sets the pivot point at the cursor position. however as soon as i click anywhere the pivot point resets back to its initial point.

Hi I’ve ran into this issue and this is how you solve it. Click the prop inside uefn, Go to Modeling Mode(Shift +4) Click on Xform tab on the left, Click Edit Pivot → Box Position Center. Or Where ever you want the pivot to me.

that seems to only work on custom imported static meshes, whereas what i’m trying to change the pivot on is a fortnite prop. when i select a fortnite prop all of the x-form options grey out and i cannot use them.
