You could try with spacer nulls for each geo - snap to their current POS - then direction constrain them to a null in the center of the globe - parent each geo to it's respective null and freeze transforms - you could do this once and use a quick hacky script to iterate through the remaining ones if they are named with a number. Once frozen xforms you could unparent if you need to.

A modeler build a globe and cut up the continents into little pieces, the orientation needs to point toward the center of the globe so they can animate out on a local y axis. Is there any way to globally make the center axis to point towards a null or to global 0 without moving the individual objects? The geo is properly oriented, but the center points are all at the same default rotation. Eric -- Freelance 3D and VFX animator
