    Seems to be working now, so what I believe was the issue came down to using "replace" and "update" of the model after changing pivot points. It is a nested object. I am not sure if that is a known bug, but happy to log it if anyone wants to point me in the right direction.

    There was also a large offset from
    this.props.laserBeam.moveRelativeTo(this.entity, new Vec3(0, laserLength / (2 * thisEntityScaleY), 0))

    I settled with the Y value of Vec3 set to thisEntityScaleY and it looks fine. Also worked well just setting it to 1.

    Phew, now I can move on 😅 Thanks for the response SeeingBlue 😎

I suspect the scale of the cylinder you import is not the same scale of the previous cylinder. When you have you cylinder in blender, make sure the dimensions say 1,1,1 then apply the scale. You can fix rotation this way too.
