Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about object pivot points in Unreal Engine in the comments below! :)

The reimport method fixes my problem, thanks a lot!

Can somebody explain why it is so hard for Epic to do such simple pivot adjustment? Every single 3d app I know does not have such issue. This is completely ridiculous what Epic has done.

You have best tutorials by far! thanks

my problem is when move the camera on the z rotation the pivot doesnt change with it

I just found out that I need to change my FBX's transform (Maya for example) settings as it uses a different axis...

Hello there, do you know if it's possible to set the pivot point in blender (very precisely) and import it in Unreal engine 5? Thank you. I love your channel!!

But how to change the pivot directions every time i import from sketchup my axes are not the same and its hard to move objects along the wrong axe and direction

Looks good, but it´s not working on my UE5. It failed to reimport. I found this video because I only want to rotate my Pivot-Point 45 Degree. Because if I want to move a wall straight to the side I have to move it with grid and then do f.e. 3 steps x and 3 steps y to move straight to one side because all other objects are 45 degree to the starting direction. Maybe I missed something because I am a complete beginner. All in all I think this video here shows what I want from 5:00 on. But I also don´t see "show pivot" and rotating and reimport is not possible with a mesh (cube) in my UE5. My goal is to rotate pivot points on brushes.

When I press re import + lods it makes me go through my entire pc to find that one file that I have 0 clue where to find it. Your one just instantly saves. You didn't have to search at all.

To be fair, the asset pivot points should be set up correctly in the first place by the prop artists. There really shouldn't be any need to set these up in UnrealEd for basic floor snapping etc. Still extremely useful for re-positioning them when you need to though.

eI need to bring the object to the pivot and not the pivot to the object ..
