Question

why is my Gameobject so far away from the Move Tool as you can see in the Picture down below?

I would like to have it centered at the Gameobject. How can I change this?

Answer 1

Check the object in the scene hierarchy and make sure that the transform eg. x,y,z are set to 0.

If your object is a child of another object and they are not at the same position you are probably moving the parent and not the child object itself.

Answer 2

that Move Tool is the objects origin, and this might help:

"The easiest way is to create an empty object as a parent object. Then you put the corridor object as a child of the empty object. You can then alter the position of the corridor object so its positioned at the edge.

i found your answer here

note that its not exact, in your case, make an empty object, move it to where you would like your origin or move tool THEN add your other object to it as a child. you can then move it with the parents move tool (origin) right on top of your box.
