I have a 50m by 50 m plane and the pivot point is at the center of the object. I have my grid lines every 50. I am creating modular assets.
Is there a way to snap pivot point of objects to the Center of a grid(square)? I am using 3ds max 2016.

    Let me clarify that a little. I want to snap the object to the center of the grid lines by using its pivot pivot...and not just moving the objects pivot point.

    Well couldnt figure it out...So I had to work around it..I know the modular pieces are 50m x 50m. So I created a plane of that size, then created a grid of them and froze them. Within my grid snaps I have enabled snapping to frozen. Now I can enable pivot snaping and then move my pieces and snap to the pieces on my frozen grid...anyway hope that makes sense.
