Hey @Nate -

Got a bit of a request here.

Would it be possible to make is so that we can add our own user defined pivots to our meshes in this tool?

@HeadClot, you can use “Alt + Middle mouse drag” to move pivot then press “Set” key to save the temporary pivot.

Or do you mean a way to input pivot offset (x, y, z) base on existing pivot preset? e.g. you can input (0, 0, 0.5), then press “Center” pivot preset, will set pivot to -0.5 z unit down from mesh center.

I need to set pivot over 16k actors. While when I select all the actors in the level editor and set the pivot to the center, i found all the actors’ center are set to the same location, Could you provide instructions on how to batch set the actors’ pivots with this tool. Thanks.

I posted the reply on itch.io. As it might also helps anyone has same question, I quote the answer below:

When “Group Mode” is off, all actors’ pivot will be set individually.

When “Group Mode” is on, then all actors’ pivot will be set as a whole group.

Here’s a short video to showcase the differences.
