In Blender, the center pivot is the point around which objects rotate. It is also the point that determines the object's position in 3D space. The center pivot can be moved to any location within the object's 3D space.

To move the center pivot, select the object and press Shift+S. A popup menu will appear. Select "Cursor to Center" from the menu. The 3D cursor will move to the center of the object's 3D space. To move the object, press Shift+A and select "Move." The object will move to the position of the 3D cursor.

Q: How do I center a pivot point?

A: There is no central pivot point in Blender. The 3D Viewport's center is not the same as the 3D Cursor's center.

The 3D Cursor is the only thing that has a central point, and you can use it to center your object's pivot point. To do so, select your object, then press Shift+S and choose Cursor to Selected. Your object's pivot point will now be at the 3D Cursor's location.

Q: How do I center an object on the axis in blender?

A: There are a couple different ways that you can center an object on an axis in Blender.

One way is to select the object that you want to center, and then go to the Object menu and choose Transform -> Center on Axis.

Another way is to select the object and then go to the Tools panel (press T to open it) and choose the Edit Tools tab. In the Edit Tools tab, there is a button labeled Center on Axis.

Finally, you can also use the 3D cursor to help you center an object on an axis. First, place the 3D cursor at the point on the axis where you want to center the object. Then, select the object and press Shift+S to bring up the Snap menu. In the Snap menu, choose Cursor to Selected. This will snap the selected object to the 3D cursor, effectively centering it on the axis.

This will center the selected object on the 3D cursor.
