Reset Orientation of a part
fhhowdy started this discussion in Help and Tips

I created a minifig and saved it as a model. I then created a set in a separate model. When I got ready to import the minifig into the model, the origin for the part is not centered, and it's skewed at 11 degrees. This has interesting effects when trying to move a point on the xyz axis.

Is there a way to reset and center the origin of an imported set/minifig?

What would I have done to cause this? I don't recall seeing this issue before, and the original model is not skewed.

Thanks for an awesome set of products!

After studying the model a little more, it looks like it's made the origin of the right arm as the origin point for the whole model. I've gone back and tried to see if I set something strange in the original minifig model, but nothing stands out.

Any ideas on this? I've found more models that exhibit this behavior. The minifig was centered on the right arm. The other models had their origin around other parts that were at an angle.
