Suddenly, for some reason, objects in the unity editor started rotating around their center of gravity (at least that's what I think is going on) instead of their pivot point. I tried placing the object inside an empty object which would serve as the new pivot point, like usual, but this did not change anything. Is this some setting or some updated feature? How can I stop it?
If this is not possible, you can fix it in Unity by adding an extra parent transform: Create an empty GameObject using the GameObject->Create Empty menu. Position the new GameObject so that it is at the center of your mesh or whichever point you want your object to rotate around. Drag the mesh onto the empty GameObject.
To change an object's pivot point, you can create an empty child GameObject and move it to the desired pivot position. Then, you can press the Move X's pivot here button to move the parent object's pivot there. It is safe to delete the empty child object afterwards.
Click the Pivot/Center button on the left to toggle between Pivot and Center. Pivot positions the Gizmo at the actual pivot point of a Mesh.
