Scroll rect starting in the middle

Question

Hi Unity Community

I am trying to create a scroll functionality for text which is updated at runtime using the scroll rect and UI scrollbar. This works, however it currently starts with the Text rect positioned at the middle, whereas I obviously want this to be positioned at the top.

It’s a small but annoying issue that I can’t seem to solve using the Unity UI system. Any advice would be very welcome on how to resolve this.

Cheers, Ryan

Current start position (text rect): alt text

Text Editor Setup: alt text

Set the 'Y' Pivot of your description text to '1' if you want it to align to top. It is aligning to centre since your pivot y value is 0.5. Here's copy of my scrollContent if you need for some help.

@digzou thank you so much! Setting the Text rect pivot to 1 solved the issue.

Thank you @digzou I'd been trying to figure this out with a similar scroll panel setup!
