I find it amazing how such a complex tool, can lack such a simple thing..

I DID A WHOLE PROJECT JUST CHANGEING CAMERA ANGLES BEFORE I FOUND YOU.... lIFE SAVER !!!!

how I can modify the pivot point of an object in a blueprint's viewport?

Unfortunately, although the pivot is changed to the new coordinate, it still references the original one when you animate it (Rotate in Sequence)!

I do love the emotional rollercoster ride that is UNREAL...

Reads a hack to change pivot in ue4... serotonin thru the roof

Sees its a 48 min tut....i need to lie down :(

ONLY issue is that it only changes the pivot point FOREVER IN the LEVEL, not the static mesh... But this did help me multiple times until I found you can just reset the pivot point to the center of mass in the UE5 modeling tools.

I have a real problem. When i animate a rotation in my sequencer a very simple rotation up and down when I play it back the object starts rolling have you ever seen this?

IF YOU CANT RIGHT CLICK THE PIVOT, which was my problem, just right click on the landscape or object you want in the items panel on the right side, and when the pivot is the spot you want, click pivot, then set as pivot offset.

middle click is very annoying to me whatever i click it it scroll instead, can i change the shortcut key or at least where i find the option in the main menu ?

I think this solution just change the pivot in editor. To change it on the instance u must drag an scene component over ur mesh component and then move ur mesh to desired location.

..Is there a quickly way to center it ?..

right click on pivot doesnt work for me... when i move pivot i need to right click on object in right menu, not on pivot... but otherwise its work... thanks man :)

You didn't explain how to solve 1:40 which is the main problem, please help me regarding to that. I am dealing with an item that I want to connect to a metahuman and I need the engine to stop deciding to automatically throw the pivot miles away from the object, how do I stop the pivot from being reset? A.K.A How do I set the pivot FOREVER like the title says?

I´m new in UE and this helps me a lot, thanks man! New subscriber

[feanorfs]

I try to do, but it works like a measure tool or something, I can only move in perspective view not in the straight projections.. why they did this so complex..?

[harshavardhanks]

thanks a lot. This helped me from murder rage

[realadnoh]

So If you Insert the Asset again the pivot is Beeing reset-means it is Not forever, is it?

There is still no way to save your custom pivot location to the .uasset sadly. Would be nice to have this as a feature.

Maybe it's my mouse but Unreal is very glitchy in this aspect. It's hard to select the pivot and move it reliably. It seems to move all jerky and sometimes not at all. Does it snap to vertices only? But once you actually get it to move and right click immediately before it resets again this works as intended.

This doest change it permanently, i have a video showing how to change it to the mesh! :)
