Center Pivot point without moving object?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi.

Iv ran into this issue a fair few times, and want a fix for this. I work between Modo and Zbrush. Often Modos world center is not the same as Zbrush, so when I correct the models position in Modo and send it back to Zbrush, I no longer have a center pivot point for symmetry. Using the Transform SPivot is not the answer as all this does is moves the model, not the pivot. I want to essentially get Zbrush to except that its new position is zero, how do I do this?

Thanks, Dan.

have you tried turning on “local symmetry”? you may be able to leave the pivot point alone.

Hi. Yes I have tried this as it does work on this model, but not on all in this situation. I was wondering if I missed a feature that resets things like pivot points, scale, as these things cause me allot of bother, more so scaling between apps.

Thanks, Dan.

May be this could help

Thanks, but that does not fix the problem, moving the cross hair in preview, only moves the geometry, not the center pivot point.

Thanks, Dan

Did you try: Deformation > Unify ?

Deform Unify does the same thing, moves the sub tool to the pivot, not the pivot to the sub tools current position.

Thanks, Dan.
