new to python and scripting in blender and i cant seem to figure out out to move the origin of an object using python.

Also, what would be the best way to calculate the center and bottom of a mesh? Looping through the vertices and calculating using those?

$\begingroup$ Does this answer your question? How to move an object's origin to the center of its bounding box? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Or: Changing object origin to arbitrary point without origin_set()?, Setting mesh's origin in python (2.8) -> the list goes on... $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Sort of, i can move it to the center of the mesh but i cant figure out out to move it to the lowest z point in the mesh. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Another one for all mesh objects: Set origin to bottom center of multiple objects $\endgroup$
