Would like the ablity to customize an object's pivot point in self-serve Jig editing tool.

Note: this can be achieved manually by JigSpace services team for Organization or Enterprise customers.

This is now released! To add a custom pivot point to an object, download the latest version of JigSpace and follow these instructions:

Click on an object in your Jig.
Open the Object Properties panel on the right-hand side.
Click Change Pivot.
Click and drag the pivot in the viewport using your mouse, or use numerical input to set the origin position (x, y, z coordinates) more precisely.

You can also adjust the rotational pivot origin with the rotate gizmo or numerical input

Once finished, click Save to apply your changes.

Development on pivot points has started. You can see a sneak peak of this via a prototype below. If you're keen to test this out, please follow the links.

Feedback received:
I noticed that the origin of the object is by default at the centre of each object. My question is is there any way I can control the placement of the origin of the object, which will in turn help me use the x,y,z sliders to control the location of the object?
For example if I have 2 objects of different sizes, and I want the base to be at the same level, if I use the x,y,z sliders, the same z values doesn’t bring them at the same level since their origins are at different heights. A solution would be to have both their origin at the base of the object and then the same z value would get them at the same level?
Any method to tackle this kind of issue?
For context I am importing geometry from blender as objs. The origins are set correctly in blender, but they change as they are imported into JIG

Hugely important for us to animate our robot arm.

This is huge, we still don't know how peter did it for our vanmoof project, but it's very annoying not to be able to change the axis, especially in industrial products too
