Re: 3ds max: reset pivot rotation
Well, I just tried these methods out and for some weird reason it isn't working for me right. Mop: on some objects when I click "affect pivot only" then "align to world" it actually moves the mesh! I'm not sure why this is, but these were meshes that I have already edited so I tried to just make a simple box and try it… -
3ds max: reset pivot rotation
Hey, really simple question here, and I'm sure there is a simple solution... Make a box, rotate it 45 degrees and now your pivot point is no longer aligned x,y,z. Is there a quick and easy way to get the pivot point back in alignment without rotating it back? My current resolution for this is to make a box in the viewport… -
Re: 3ds max: reset pivot rotation
I use this very simple script to move the pivot to the lowest center point on the mesh, then move the mesh to 0, 0, 0. I use just before I export props (if I don't have a specific place the pivot needs to be).

A faster, similar way, may be to click the "Transform" button down in the "Reset" section of the "Adjust Transform" rollout in the same Hierarchy panel.… -
Re: 3ds max: reset pivot rotation
Hey, thanks again guys. Reset Xform: From the utilities tab Works! The stupid thing is if you just place the Xform modifier on from the modifier list, then it doesn't work. Actually, attaching a box and unattaching is sort of easier if you just keep a box on 0,0,0 (the way I have been solving this issue all along). But at… -

Hi, in the MaxScript page of IllusionCatalyst website you can find a collection of tiny MacroScripts to assign shortcuts to common Pivot operations. -
Re: 3ds max: reset pivot rotation
I have some custom scripts for this as well, reset Xform + pivot placement. Its one of those things one needs often when modeling in max. -
Re: 3ds max: reset pivot rotation
Oh, in that case, use Reset XForm from the Utilities tab. -
