Asset pivot point

Get Help

please check and eventually correct the pivot point on assets!

latest problem: potted plants 65. worked fine in previous versions of D5, now the pivot point is in the center of the pot and not at the bottom.

also, why is the pivot point on the downlight assets on the bottom and not at the top? downlight are usually mounted on a ceiling not a floor

Hi @ek1

Thank you for bringing this up. Could you please share a short screen recording or screenshot showing how the pivot point appears on your end?

Also, may I confirm:

  • Which version of D5 are you currently using?
  • Is this happening only with Potted Plants 65, or with other plant assets as well?
  • For the downlight assets, could you also show how the pivot behaves when placing it on a ceiling?

Looking forward to your reply. Thank you

i’m using version 3.0.1.0683

until now it happened only with potted plants (but not all of them). in the attached screenshot you can see 3 examples. left one is how it is placed when inserted, right one how it should be.

there is also an example for the downlights. left one you can’t see, because it’s IN the ceiling when the asset is placed in the scene (because pivot point is on the bottom of the object). i did not check every object in the downlights folder, but it seems that almost every downlight has the pivot point on the bottom. so, when placing downlights you have to manually move every light down.
