[Maya 2015] Setting the pivot point of an object to one of its vertices

samifira

How do you set the pivot point for an object to be one of its vertices?

I've been looking for an answer for this for an hour now and I can't find a thing. I know I need to use the custom pivot editing tool but I can only move the pivot in relation to the grid; I can't force the object's pivot point to be set from one of its vertices. I know this is possible somehow because I've done it before but I can't recall at all how I did it.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Snap the pivot to the vertex using vertex snap

That was it! Thank you so much!

Hitting insert, then holding c and middle mouse did the trick.
