Move local pivot point for objects in Rhino

Hi,

I have this object in Rhino which is made of 6 meshes and I want to create individual pivot points for each of them. I can show this in Blender as follows:

but I am not sure how exactly does this work in Rhino. All the meshes in my Rhino model have their local coordinate at the center of the model which I want to move to specific location either by typing in points or by picking them with mouse.

I am trying to export this as a .dae collada file after I finish modelling this.

How do I move the local pivots (and perhaps also set their orientation?) to specific points in Rhino?

Unfortunately Rhino doesn’t have the same object center concept as Blender. I would really love to have that (as long time Blender dev), but sofar it has been rejected.

Hello - use RelocateGumball for this. Use the first pick and Enter to only set the location, or use the X and Y orientation picks as needed. The location will be remembered for single top-level objects (not control points, sub selected faces, multi or group selections)

And is exported inside the FBX?

You’ve added a sample file to the open YT item on this one…
