How do you redefine the axis of an object?

You can only actually set that up inside the modeling program you are using.

There is a trick to work around it though. The object you want to change the axis on I'll call ObjectX:

  • create an empty GameObject
  • make the empty GameObject the child of ObjectX
  • reset the Transform of the empty GameObject (it should now center ObjectX)
  • unparent the empty GameObject
  • rotate the empty GameObject so that it's axis are the way you'd like them to be on ObjectX
  • make the empty GameObject the parent of ObjectX

The gamedraw package has a center pivot button. Works perfectly.
