The 'Why is it floating?!' Problem in Blender — I Made a Free Add-on for That
A new free add-on for Blender addresses the common issue of object origins being misaligned. This tool allows users to quickly move an object's origin to the bottom center with a simple right-click. It is particularly useful for placing furniture and props accurately in 3D scenes without manual adjustments.
- ▪The add-on automatically moves an object's origin to the center of its lowest point.
- ▪Users can select multiple objects and update their origins individually.
- ▪It simplifies the process of placing furniture and fixing imported models with inconsistent origin positions.
