Hello, any suggestion if you can implement it or it already exists but I do not know that the pieces are centered, it is an accessory for ats but always leads to center the object well

hello. I can not understand what do you mean. Accessories have their local axes as you've shown on a screenshot, and this point (with the accessory) is moved to accessory mounting dummy on a truck in game. So if you load accessory only, you will see it at 0,0,0 point. You can load accessory into the scene with truck being loaded already. then you can drag&drop it onto accessory mounting point in hierarchy view: hold CTRL key before dropping. this will move/place accessory onto its location (exactly like the game does it). Then you can adjust objects placement if needed. The only important thing to remember is that you have to use Display->Local Axes->Reset to parent on a dummy node of accessory (so it perfectly aligns with accessory mounting point/dummy on a truck).

Then drag&drop the accessory out from truck's hierarchy into empty area of hierarchy list and hold CTRL key before dropping (releasing mouse button). Accessory will jump to 0,0,0 point again and is ready for an export.
