AutoPivot
AutoPivot is a useful script for 3ds Max created to help you move easly object's pivot.
Description:
It includes two separate scripts that move the pivot to its center or to lowest point.
Unlike the standard 3ds command that uses the Selection Bracket, AutoPivot calculates the center of mass and moves the pivot accordingly.
Main features:
- AutoPivot_Center moves the Pivot to the center
- AutoPivot_Bottom moves it to the foot
- Calculation of the center of mass for Mesh and Poly objects
- Calculation of the average position of the vertices for Spline objects
To use it, simply select the object, or objects, that you want to edit the pivot and then press the AutoPivot Center button to move it in the center, or press AutoPivot Bottom to move it on the foot.
The script uses vertex computation to find the center of mass so the speed of execution depends on the complexity of the object.
Be aware that you may experience slowness with high polygon objects.
Remember that the Group object itself has no mass so its center will always coincide with the center of the Selection brackets.
Tested on 3ds Max: 2016 - 2018 - 2020

Hello! With a large number of polygons, the script does not cope. For example Curtain or wardrobe

thanks - email was sent.
Please send me a sample scene
The problem seems to be related to the slowness of the previous message. But I would still like to investigate the problem better so if possible please send me a sample scene (3dsMax 2020 or lower) containing this error to the assistance email: [email protected]
Thanks - also, it doesnt work
Thanks - also, it doesnt work on groups - it freezes there too
We will do our best to fix this bug in the next release

just purchaed - seems to work
just purchaed - seems to work VERY slow on heavier geometry such as plants/trees...
Looks cool ! Thank you !
