You may have to play around a bit but its worth a shot if you really need to get rid of an irksome origin. The good thing is that it's easy to create new parents and then move them around. This works for children of the top level component, but probably not the other way around, it may depend on your models configuration. You can take advantage of the fact that bodies will take on the origin their parent component and that bodies can be moved between components.ġ) I moved one of the component bodies to its proper location using a combination of set pivots, moves and alignment commands (this is not necessary, you can do it after).Ĥ) I created a new component from selection.ĥ) I then dragged all the bodies into the new componentĦ) I deleted the old and empty component, banning that crazy origin from my life forever.

I know this is an old post but I just had the same issue while working on a franken model that went through several hands.Īs previously, and correctly, stated, you cannot move an origin, only the component or bodies position relative to it.
