Change Scale, rotation or translation of Static mesh

 

Here's how change Scale, rotation or translation of Static mesh

First, here's how to change the size of a static mesh:

 

Change the size of a static mesh:

To resize a static mesh, take it from the content drawer and drag it onto the map. Once it's on the map, you can select it, then in the "Details" tab on the right side of the screen, you can resize it. Once you've chosen the size, go to the "Selection Mode" menu (in black) in the top left corner, then select "Modeling Mode." In the window that appears on the left, select "XForm" mode, then click the "Bake Transform" button, and finally, click "Accept" (in blue) in the middle at the bottom of the screen.

 

Change the rotation of a static mesh:

To change the rotation of a static mesh, take it from the content drawer and drag it onto the map. Once it's on the map, you can select it, then in the "Details" tab on the right side of the screen, you can rotate it. Once you've chosen the rotation, go to the "Selection Mode" menu (in black) in the top left corner, then select "Modeling Mode." In the window that appears on the left, select "XForm" mode, then click the "Bake Transform" button, and finally, click "Accept" (in blue) in the middle at the bottom of the screen.

 

Change the translation of a pivot of a static mesh:

To change the pivto of a static mesh, take it from the content drawer and drag it onto the map. Once it's on the map, go to the "Selection Mode" menu (in black) in the top left corner, then select "Modeling Mode." In the window that appears on the left, select "XForm" mode, then click the "Edit Pivot" button,

 

Once you arrive here, several options are available to you:

  • You are editing an item, so the pivot point must be either at the very bottom (or in the middle if it's an article using the bulk option). If this is the case, please click on "Bottom" or "Center" on the left panel (option A in the screenshot).
  • If it is not an item, you can change the pivot precisely on the small window at the bottom left of the screen. (option B in the screenshot)
  • If it is not an item, and you want to change the pivot without being precise, you can do it directly by moving the arrows on the item. (option C in the screenshot)

 

And finally, click "Accept" (in blue) in the middle at the bottom of the screen.
