Set the pivot point of a ProBuilder mesh
Move the pivot (origin) of a ProBuilderMesh without shifting the visible geometry. The mesh data is rebaked so the visual position stays fixed while the GameObject's transform origin moves to the new pivot.
Inputs
gameObjectRef— the GameObject hosting theProBuilderMeshcomponent.pivotLocation—MeshPivotLocationenum:Center(mesh bounds center),FirstVertex, orCustom.customPosition— required whenpivotLocation = Custom. World-space pivot position.
Examples
- Center the pivot:
pivotLocation=Center. - Set pivot to first vertex:
pivotLocation=FirstVertex. - Set custom pivot:
pivotLocation=Custom,customPosition=(0, 0, 0).
Behavior
The mesh is rebuilt (ToMesh → Refresh), dirty-flagged, and the Editor repaints. The whole call runs on the Unity main thread.
How to Call
unity-mcp-cli run-tool probuilder-set-pivot --input '{
"gameObjectRef": "string_value",
"pivotLocation": "string_value",
"customPosition": "string_value"
}'
For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
unity-mcp-cli run-tool probuilder-set-pivot --input-file args.jsonOr pipe via stdin (recommended):
unity-mcp-cli run-tool probuilder-set-pivot --input-file - <<'EOF' {"param": "value"} EOF
Troubleshooting
If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally (npm install -g unity-mcp-cli) or use npx unity-mcp-cli instead.
Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.
