Hello, is there an easy way to move the objects axis to the parent axis (not via the coordiante manager)?
Something like Reset Transform (PSR) but only for object Axis
Thanks in advance!

Hi modalo,

To my knowledge, there is no designated tool that could do that with one click.

For Polygon based models:

• You need to enable the axis modification tool [L]

• Then enable snapping to:  Axis.

• The (selected) child object in question will stay where it is,
.. but a click into the scene will catch the axis, and it can be moved to the Parent axis.

• Switch off the Axis Modification tool and the snapping.

Please note that all model points are related to their object axis. Changing the axis will create new entries for every single point. If that point information was used somewhere, the value change might impact the setup (e.g., XPresso> Point, or a Point Level Animation)

If your scene has some of these features enabled, test the axis change on a copy first, save early, save often.

All the best

Done

Hi, Dr. Sassi,
unfortunately not what I’m looking for, thanks anyway!

Hi modado,

Please consider requesting what you need via a support ticket (suggestion).

The primary function of changing the axis is the Axis Center while allowing only for changes inside the “bounding box” of the object. A new feature, “Set Axis to Parent,” could be implemented here.
Perhaps a Capsule solution?

To move the child object axis to the parent axis while all object points are unchanged, why wouldn’t this work for you? Your reply is too short to know.

You might check in the Developer Café (Maxon), perhaps someone has a script for that.
