Compute Pivot

Key: pivot

Compute Pivot will place the parent transform at the center of the bounding box of the target mesh, think of this as creating a center pivot in other DCC tools. This makes it easier to interact with objects in the scene because the transform manipulator is centered on the object.

Some tools generate scenes where the transform is at the origin, meaning it is far from the actual vertices, making it hard to move a mesh precisely.
