help with object's position

Hello!

I have a quite weird problem. I have a 3D model which has been modeled in 3DSMax. I copied out a capsule-shaped part of it and tried to move it to 0,0,0. Actually it did not go there, it is displaced from the origo (look at this image: http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/3803/problemwj.png)
It does not have any parent.

Could anyone give an idea of what is happening? Thanks c.

A full screenshot of Unity would probably show us that your pivot-mode is set to “object center” and not to “pivot”.

It looks like your pivot is at the bottom of your object which is at 0,0,0
