I want to make a block to rotate along its one side instead of its center. How to realize? Thanks.

Either cut away 1/2 of the box, or link an invisible root prim to do the rotation

happy scripting

By 'cut away 1/2 the box', Dora means cut away 75 percent of the box by setting path cut begin to 0.375, and end to 0.675...

Dora could mean cutting away HALF the box by using .125 and .625, or possibly .375 and .875...

Might be better to ask Dora what she meant though.

You can also use the old trick of setting the position and rotation at the same time, but it generally does not produce the best-looking results. It works, but the client won't necessarily do the translation/rotation smoothly together.
