Hello everyone! I’ve encountered a problem with Center Min Z pivot when creating PLAs. In many cases it gets way lower than any static mesh’s lowest Z value. Is there a way to fix this (except changing the pivot manually)? ---

Very annoying issue. A workaround is to instead of choosing Pivot Type “Center Min Z”, choose “Actor” instead. If you need fine tuning of pivot point, add an extra actor and position it where you need and wrap you stuff in that. ---

How does it even happen? We just noticed just the same problem and I am trying to wrap my head around it…
