Setting center for symmetry?

Sometimes I have models with a perfectly symmetrical upper part but an asymmetrical lower part. That means I can’t use the symmetry because ZB uses the midpoint of the entire model. Is there a way to re-position the center point so I can use the symmetry on the symmetrical upper part?

Setting the pivot isn’t a solution because the object is part of a subtool structure, and the pivot repositions each object by itself and not in relation to the others.

Edit: Ok, I found a way. It’s easy and I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. All I have to do is load one symmetrical object as the base for the other objects, which I then attach to the symmetrical thing as subtools. ZB uses the center point of the main object, so my problem is solved :smiley:

Or you can hide the assymmetrical parts of the model and then use S.Pivot. ZBrush calculates the pivot point based on the center of the VISIBLE mesh; not the mesh as a whole.
