Attached Modeling -- Origin???

Here is a great source of frustration for me so far.

*EDIT*
For linked object (object contructed of more than one primitve) when attached how is thier center origin (the point which they rotate about) determined?
*/EDIT*

When attaching primitives the origin of the attachment is the origin of the primitve( CENTER).

However, when attaching objects of more than one primitive (linked object) the origin is not the relative center of all linked primitives but the center of just one primitve.

As well it is not the first primitve in the link?
My brief test to figure out which primitve would be chosen yeilded no answer.

So before I dig into it. Anyone know the answer

How is the origin chosen.

*EEK just re-read that. Let me try to clarify**

For linked object (object contructed of more than one primitve) when attached how is thier center origin (the point which they rotate about) determined?

Isn't it the parent primitive? Which would be the last prim selected before you link them. It highlights yellow instead of the "grey" of child objects. I believe it's the center of this prim that ends up being the center for the entire object.

Could be wrong, though.

Nope, Cas is correct

Hmm.. yeah your right..


Man I spent an hour jacking with that.. and I swear I tried that.

I tired seeing if it attached to the first selected the last etc..

Hmm.. I must have been tired cuase it works perfectly/

Thanks for the help
