  Rotation TOOL center: arbitrary placement?

  Posted by Eric Chard on January 8, 2017 at 11:51 pm

  I’m sure this is a perennial favorite…

  I’d like to set the rotational center of the Rotation TOOL to be away from my selection: that is, I’ll be rotating my selection along an arc.

  How does one do that? Currently, the rotational center is at the center of the selected items.

  Create your object – a cube for example.
  Make it editable – (C)
  Enable axis modification – (L)
  Move the axis with the move tool – (E)
  Disable axis modification – (L)
  Use Rotate tool, or adjust H,P,B in cube’s coordinates, to rotate it around re-centered axis.
