Change Pivot

The pivot point defines the position around which objects are rotated or scaled. By default, the pivot point of a mesh or point cloud is located at its center, and of a curve at the origin. If you want to rotate an object around a specific point, you need to adjust the object’s pivot position.

To change the pivot point of an object:

1. Select the object in the Object List.
2. Activate any of the manipulators on the Viewbar.
3. Enter the pivot-editing mode by pressing the Insert key.
4. Click and drag any axis to move the pivot point.
5. Press the Insert key again to leave the pivot-editing mode.
