In addition, typing expression centroid(0, D_X), centroid(0, D_Y), centroid(0, D_Z) into pivot trasform x, y and z representively and the pivot will be centered in the bounding box of the geometry. Another handy expression is bbox. :)

[@Quick_VFX]

handy expression, but this is more about moving it to a custom location, which is a well hidden option

[@ollicron7397]

On the top shelf on the modify tab, make sure you are in the object context, select move pivot to center, and then move center to pivot.

I lol'd at that one 😭 It should be Houdini's slogan

[@NlghtShifter]

Why there's such a demand for a Houdini TD ;)

[@Quick_VFX]

The demand for Houdini TDs (Technical Directors) has been growing due to the industry's increasing reliance on complex simulations and procedural workflows, which Houdini specializes in. Being a Houdini TD often means you're at the cutting-edge of VFX and animation, working on the most technically challenging aspects of production.

Tapping the Insert key gives you the same. )))

[@melantheoszimurri9981]

You keep saying translate when it’s transform

[@ViralKiller]

" translation refers to moving an object without rotating it or changing its shape or orientation; it shifts the object in space." - my word is correct...last thing you want is a pivot rotating
