Object/Viewport Pivot Help Please :)

Anonymous — Tue, 15 Aug 2017 01:23:25 GMT

I Started working on a 3d model and somewhere along the line my pivot point (Green Ball In Picture)

moved far away from my object and would like to know how to reset it

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks 🙂

The green ball is not the pivot point mate. You have either deliberately or accidentally pressed 'D', because your viewport is <Disabled>. Press D again. Please post any updates to this post.

With it Enabled or disabled it doesn't fix my problem unfortunatly, When i use the viewcube in the top right to rotate my model it is rotating from that green point not the center of my model. I want to make the viewcube rotate from the center of my model so when im working on fine details and rotate the model slightly it doesn't fly out of my camera view.

I tried to move the orbit center with Crtl+Alt+MidClick but it does not stay here is another image that might help showing that my model is actually centered on the grid but it still continues to orbit the far off green circle. After i release middle mouse click with alt+control the new green circle instantly disappears from where i just put it.

Found your problem mate. I doubted that there might be hidden objects, but there were none. But there were hidden vertices. See attachment.

Solution:

select the Wall
Press '1'
you'll have extra vertices quite far away from the model
select those verts and delete'em
If need be, reset your pivot point.

That did it 😄 thank you very much, sorry if it seemed like a silly trail of questions I'm kind of new to the program so didn't know that could happen.
