3ds max pivot problem

[Anonymous]

Hi there I'm having a problem with my pivot. I have it where i want to move it to a different position so i use menu where the pivot is to move it and i see it. however for some reason it still has it where its in the same place so i see i moved the pivot but only works and stays where it was before. Here is a screenshot to show you what i mean in a way.

Hi, Try This sequence:

1) Before selecting the cone or the pivot be sure your pointer is in the select mode ( select object )

2) Go to Hierarchy Panel and select "Affect Pivot Only"

3) Select the cone

4) Select Move or rotate command ( you can also use align, quick align or align to view )

5) Grab the XY or Z arrow from the pivot and move to desired location

6) Turn off  "Affect Pivot Only"

7) Select the cone again and use the rotate or move command and it should move or pivot from wherever you last left the pivot point

   ( Note : you can always use the reset if you get in trouble or stuck )

8) If this works for you and answers your question - Please solve it and give a kudo if you are happy

9) If this doesn't work for you - let me know!
