if i understand you properly your solution would be to type "EnterEditMode;" in the command line. this will allow you to move the pivot point freely as you wish...It is case sensitive, so type it just as i did. less the quotes anyway. also you can high lite the text and mmb drag it to the Shelf and create a button to do this as you wish... you will need to have the move tool activated to be able to use this command. hope this helps G-man
