UFO model pivot point is not centered so spin looks wrong.

hi,
The pivot point on the ufo model is not in the center. An animation

makes me wonder if the pilot is drunk. I tried to change the pivot point but quite often it seems to change back to the off center point. How can I permanently change the pivot point?

Expand model tree. click on every component verify that pivit point set to center. Click on root of model and set pivit point as last.
Save model.
Some time if one point is outside of model, Vue may confused and reset it.
May be some other object accedenlty grouped with model.
It is happen to me many time, accedently drag'n'drop some object inside other model collection.
Also Vue beta update have some problems, that people reported.

I also verifyed original, it is look point sent correct.

Can you post what version (build) of Vue you using.

Original UFO does work correctly.

hi,
I just tried the original UFO and it does spin fine. I had only added some text to the ufo and of course did not think that would muck things up. I'll take a much longer look at the text and see where the pivot points are for them.
Thanks.
