  • 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.
