I can't reset the rotation point.

Somehow I accidentally moved my rotation point down on the z axis. I have tried all the options in the shift-s menu in edit mode and all the options in the set origin drop down in the t menu but no luck. Could you point me in the right direction?

    Hey HnT.

    That is the armature OBJECT you have selected in object mode.  Think of it like a container for all the bones.  You can reset its location and rotation back to 0 in object mode  (alt G, alt R) but it will move all the contents of the container along with it (so if you have already animated the body and spin controls in pose mode they will be floating in the air basically).

    So if you move it, you will need to counter animate the body control to move it back to where you need it to be (in pose mode)

    eg - if you moved the OBJECT +3.2 on the z loc, you will need to grab all the z keys in the graph editor and move them -3.2 on the z loc.  If you moved the OBJECT  -1.4 on the x loc, you will need to move all the x keys +1.4.  

    BUT if the ball is doing what you want don't worry about moving it.  Just look at it like a learning experience.  "I made a small mistake which I can push through and not do in the future" ;)

    Hope that all makes sense.
