The pivot point of every vertex in the mesh of my object is out of position for some reason how do I put it back to where the geometry of my vertex actually is. I tried origin to cursor but it will say you could not do apply this in edit mode.

enter image description here

As illustrated in the picture above the pivot point is far from where the vertex is located.

This is because the armature modifier is not taken into account (this is intended behavior), so the pivot point is at the non modified location of the selection.

This becomes obvious when toggling Modified edit cage (the triangle icon on the modifier):

To make things more manageable, try disabling the modifier in edit mode:

Switch out of edit mode back to object mode and try the "Origin to 3D Cursor" operation again. It should work.

  • $\begingroup$ yes it works but that is not what I wanted to do. I want to fix each vertex so that the pivot of every vertex is in its center. Not the pivot of the whole 3d object itself. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You can assign every vertex of a mesh to be a pivot point, but only one at a time. You do this by setting the pivot point to "active element", and selecting the vertices as you want to change the pivot point. Just as you cannot have more than one active element at a time, you cannot have more than one pivot point at a time. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ well the problem is when I snap using the magnetic too from vertex to vertex. It does not snap correctly, it snaps to the point where the pivot seems to be located. This is happening in all vertices $\endgroup$
