Editable Rotation Point

A feature allowing us to edit the rotational axis.

You know, according to an ancient forgotten legend there was once what you speak of. The scrolls speak of something called "Joints" which allowested thou to offset thine rotation from the center of the prim. Alas, it doth seem that such feature proved too problematic and difficult for the waifs and peasants to understand. Perhaps thou wouldst file this in the Jira and discover if the Linden Lords hast forgotten why they took it away in time since past and may now be persuaded to once again give such great power to us mere carpetbaggers.

i remember those

think they took them away when they were about to switch to havoc 4 ... like 3 years ago

hey beccy, sometimes there are tricks around this problem. for instance if you want to rotate a cube from the end rather than the middle you would edit the cut settings to make it only half a cube. Or for a cylinder you would first create a sphere, dimple to half, then change to a cylinder.

of course doing this makes your prims only have a max length of 5M which can be a pain in the butt for larger builds.

hope that helps in some small way.

Wow that seems really weird.

One of the biggest issues I have faced in Second Life is animating prims. It always looks terrible, simply because of no editable rotation point and non groups items.
