origin issue

Hi Ford,

What do you mean?

Does Object > Set Origin > Origin to 3D Cursor not work?

Make sure you have the correct Object Selected. For some Objects (a Camera for instance), you can't just move the Origin.

Can you post some screenshots as well? It's a fairly straight forward operation, you're probably just making a simple mistake. We can help pin point it. 

Hi Ford Ford ,

That Reference Image is an Empty. you can't use Set Origin with Empties (or Cameras, Lights,...). You should reset the Offset to its Defaults of -0.5:

then you can use SHIFT+S (> Snap) > Selection to Cursor.

To be complete you can't Transform only the Origin from Empties. 

This includes all the Objects in the white rectangle (that are actually just Empties):

You could also provide a time stamp in the video to see which part you're trying to recrate and we can see what might be going on.
