Change origin of object?

Question

Hi all, 
 I don't think this is an actual EOS Augment3d bug but an issue with my object model. But I thought I would throw it out here and see if anyone has ideas on the easiest way to solve this. 
 I have a show (theatre and set) that was originally built in Sketchup. Both were imported fine into Augment3d last summer when the Beta first came out. I have been playing with it on and off for the last year to learn both Augment3d, and prepare for the eventual ability to mount this show again. A couple of the objects I imported, when dropped into Augment3d, do not translate their motion the way I want them to using Movable Scenic Elements (channels). Their origin seems to be set to one of the 4 corners. 
 Is there a way, in Augment3d, to change an object's origin point? Or is that something I must do it Sketchup/VWX? I would like to be able to change the origin point to a different corner as the objects will rotate on a corner, not a center origin. 
 Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. 
 Thanks, 
 Darren

if i'm understanding correctly then this can't only be solved by changing the origin of the object, but also by changing the distance between the scenic element and the object. so if you have nested the object (of size e.g. 1x1x1) in the scenic element movable and then set the objects (relative) coordinates to be -0.5/-0.5/-0.5, the scenic element now attaches to the corner of the object.

if i might, when i adress the origin i want to an object in sketchup, augmented will take the same origin point. that's why i built my pipes in sketchup to get the origin where i want. What 's your object's origin in sketchup?
