Pivoting madness

[tribal flame]

I make tube stuff a lot, I've learned that pivots get annoying when working with tube.

I try my best to fix the pivots on the stuff I make by centering the pivots and using grid, and whatever else I can think of...

But I still to tweak out sometimes doing it, today I made a couch and it took me awhile to fix the pivot.

My question is, does anyone know the top secret method for making good pivots, or know a good guide video or something 😭

you can put a small square in the place you want your pivot to be
merge that square with the build
select object with edit, select the cube and center pivot

I feel like i've had even that misbehave for me before, where no matter what order i select the two objects in to merge them, the object whose pivot i don't want copied over, always becomes the pivot of the new merged object. 😢

Do you know if maybe it's something to do with which merged object has more individual objects inside it?

I thought about this, I believe I may have tried it or something similar, next time I model or make something with a messed up pivot I'll test this out.

[tribal flame]

I'm not exactly sure what you're on about, I never had to merge two things and deal with a messed up pivot.

I do a lot of outlining too, logo making and stuff and that usually involves a lot of merging for me and the pivots mess up on those but I never try to fix them

I just don't want to be publishing stuff with crappy pivots, because they always annoy me

Oh my god!! You're talking about tube pivots, not pivot points! My bad 😆

Wait maybe?

Enlighten me pls, i have sleepy brain

[tribal flame]

I'm not talking about tube points, I'm talking about the object pivot, that gets messy when using tubes

Though I use double edit often too, I don't have issues with that, I don't think I do at least

[sinful cosmos]

Ohhh okok, well yeah look forward to that, i do feel like it hasn't happened to me much lately, but also i haven't been building objects lately either

It can be very frustrating 🥲

[tribal flame]

I feel as if they should have a way to actually move the pivot it's self instead of having a select and center option

I'ma make a suggestion for that

It should be possible

[sinful cosmos]

In Rooms2.0 you can which is great, but not Rooms1.0 sadly

[tribal flame]

Annoying, I guess I should start making stuff in v2

I wish they wouldn't push for creation in rooms 2 when it still has more issues than rooms 1.

Thanks

[sinful cosmos]

Absolutely. Best we can do is push for more stability before the force us to move on over. You should check out the Creator Forum where people are complaining about exactly that and upvote any posts you agree with

[tribal flame]

Yea I'll go do that and start yapping about my opinions too

They gatta do something, it is supposed to be the "future" of the game, they can't be having an angry mob complaining and refusing to use it. I seriously haven't seen anyone enjoy the rooms 2, especially how they're integrating it with creator programs, I heard we are going to be forced to have our classes, workshops, and stuff like that all be rooms 2. Annoying

same but i usually got it when i centered the pivot before/too much

[tacit ruin]

if u really cant move pivot anymore and dont feel like remaking the model, can use piston

[tribal flame]

So would a clamp do the same thing? Rotator, etc

[tacit ruin]

yep, but clamp cv1 and more ink, rotator... y? Pitson is simpler/less space & more like a clamp visually 💀

the part of it being cv1 is how cv1 isnt supported anymore. The cv1 animation has already been buggin lately & its only going to get worse
