You might be thinking of Dirk Bialluch’s Pivot Toolbox? http://www.lightstorm3d.com/ls3d/?page_id=192

In Soft, I can move the center/pivot and it will change the transform values. So, I can reset the center to be in the middle of the geometry and then zero the position to get the object to snap back to the world center or parent center. In Maya, moving the pivot does not seem to change the transform of the object when you move the pivot. So I can't then zero the values and get the objects to return to zero. Sometimes, the object and it's center are clearly NOT at zero but that's what the values say. There are some Local Space/World space values in the attribute editor, but I can't figure out how to get things reset properly. Any help from a Softimage perspective is appreciated. -- Portfolio 2013<http://be.net/3dcinetv> Cinema & TV production Video Reel<https://vimeo.com/3dcinetv/reel2012> -- www.edschiffer.com<http://www.edschiffer.com>
