Just tried to find a quick solution myself , surprised there isn't an simpler solution.

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a command or operator that might get me there. I need some practice scripting anyway, so I'll try to do something using an OM instead.

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 -- Freelance 3D and VFX animator
