# MovablePivot

![](https://ariserigging.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-331.png)

'MovablePivot' allows animators to move ctrls pivots.

Creates on the ctrl an on/off attribute called 'Pivot' which controls the visibility of a **locator**.
When you move the locator, the ctrl pivot will move as well.

Attributes:

- **'Movable Pivot'**- A column-based table attribute:
  - **'add_movable_pivot'** - When checked, the ctrl will get a movable pivot.
  - **'add_spacer_attr'** - Adds a locked attribute '___' before the 'Pivot' attribute to help visually separate it from the rest.![](https://ariserigging.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image-332.png)
  - **'locator_size'** - Change the size of the created pivot locator. *(As of version 1.04.01)*
- **'Reset Changes'** - Removes all changes made to 'Movable Pivot'.

Notes:

- Attachment does not work with all ctrls; it depends on the setup of the ctrl.
  For instance, the 'CA_Spine' node's 'ik_chest' ctrl pivot is connected to the spine ribbon, so moving it will also move the spine joints.
- Since moving the pivot will affect existing animations, it is best to move the pivot before starting to animate or to also animate the locator.
