Imported Prefab Uses A Different Coordinate System
I'm using a prefab that requires exact positioning over another object. However, when I imported the prefab, it does not follow the same coordinate system as the object underneath. For example, when I line the objects up, the base object has an x-position of -10, but the prefab has an x-position of 0.
I plan to dynamically place images and textures on the prefab over predefined areas of the base object (i.e. to position pieces for a board game). Is there any way to convert the coordinate system of the prefab so that it matches the system for the rest of my scene?
If these two objects share a parent/child relationship, then you are getting an 'x' position of 0 for the child because the position displayed in the inspector is relative to the parent. If there is no parent/child relationship, then you are likely having issues with the position of the pivot point. Changing the pivot is best done in a 3D modeling program, but this editor script can be used as long as the pivot is within the bounds of the mesh of the object:
