After I used autorigbuilder, some of the handle is out of place. I know I can use the configure control to offset the handle but the issue is the pivot is still remains at that spot.
I tried to get in the graph and found that I can tweak by make change to the restlocal of the ObjectTransform that built by autorigbuilder. I also tried the skel::getpointlocaltransform but I have no clue to fill the proper name for it.
Please help with this issue. Or if there is another method to get more decent handle position please let me know.
Thank you!

Which handle do you want to move? Can you be a little more specific about your setup, It matters if you want to
move a simple control or a pole vector.

Can you maybe share a small setup and image?

i have added a small snippet to update the rest of select controls using positions set by a apex rigpose

Hi william_harley, thanks for the reply. Here is image of the issue I have. This is after I put it the ConfigureControl just want to make the handle control with a little more decent positioning, after all that the pivot is still remains the same and the orientation is not right. My need is to move the pivot point the center of the handle control. I did found a temponary solution for it. It is to move the pivot point later when in animation stage.

The only way that you can move the pivot of the control is to update its restlocal.
I spoke too quickly, You can set the pivot in the viewport and on the transform objects.
What you are seeing in your screengrab is the control with a offset on the control shape. If you want to move the pivot of the control you will have to update the restlocal of the control.

Have you had a look at the file I shared?

yes I did have a look but can't understand it fully. In the file of your you made change to the controls with Apex Controls Rig and then updated the new control position but it still remains the same old pos. Please have a look.

My approach to this issue with pivot is I go in Apex graph then search for the control and manually make change to the restlocal. In the end the result is there but the approach is not good at all.

Hi, Sorry I didnt think of this before. We have added pivot support to the Transform Objects. So you can set the pivot in the animate state, on the control by pressing insert and moving the pivot.

You can also set the pivot directly on the transform objects and in the configure controls SOP. In the configure controls SOP, look for the pivot section on the control.

Yes, i did notice that and tried to tick the use pivot in configure controls SOP. But the pivot point still remains the same even after I fill in the new pos.
