Changing Center of Object

Changing Center of Object

Been through the manual and may have missed it, but...

So, I import a cross section from illustrator and extrude it. The resulting object has a pretty arbitrary center point (lower left corner of the bounding box).

How do you change the center position to, say the center of mass so that when you rotate the object it rotates around where it naturally would. Makes animations A LOT easier.

Thanks!

That helped. The secret is to go into points mode, select all then transform. Seems to work with any normal object.

Hi.
With the use of Todd´s script you don´t need to move objects: http://www.cheetah3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2565
But it won´t work with splines.

With kindest regards
