    Posted by Adam Zygadlo on July 21, 2011 at 3:39 pm

    Hello everyone,

    Is there a way to adjust the axis on the object, where for example: the axis starts in the corner of a cube and I want to adjust the Y only, so the end result of the axis sits in the middle of the cube at the bottom?

    I am aware of the object axis tool but is there a tool, where I click on and it will center bang on of the object and not middle of the whole object!

    Hope this makes sense.
    Cheers,
    +Z

    I don’t believe there is any more developed way to adjust the axis beyond the object axis tool. What does center bang mean?

    Sorry my bad, I meant to say is there a way to make it perfect in the middle instead by manually doing it by hand, which could be off by a few pixels. Auto align to center on Y, X or Z.

    Use the Axis Tool and in the coordinates palette select Object(Rel) enter 0 for all position and rotation coordinates. That ought to do the trick.

    Hmmmm it will do, just wondering if there’s an option like that.

    Thank you Eddy,

    Kind regards,

    Actually there is a tool that does exactly what the OP requested: the Axis Center tool (Structure>Axis Center). It does some other neat tricks, too.

    Hey Adam,
    Well, I never noticed that feature before and yet I use the other features. Always learning new features in software which I have been using for years! lol

    Cheers fella!
