changing pivet point

[cs00bren]

stupid question but how do you change the pivet point.so that i can rotate it around a different point.

i know i have to change the world location or something but can't fined it.

cheers for the reply about the network render all i have to do is leave it on the server cheers bren.

Change the numbers in the Pivot parameter? Are you trying to do this for modeling or animating?

[cs00bren]

for animation so that a object rotats around one if it's corners.

cheers bren.

when you mean pivet paremeter do you mean in the obj level if so i don't understand as i'm trying to do it in the sops level to rotate a object around onother piece of geometry.

i hope i made sence, bren

I'm a bit lost. You want to animate a piece of geometry rotating about another piece? When I say "animate", I mean more or less move it through time when the playbar is playing. Since you say you're at the SOP level, then I would suggest putting down a Transform SOP and changing it's Pivot parameter.

If you simply want to rotate a piece of geometry for modelling purposes, then it's sufficient to simply hit the apostophe (') key to detach the handle. Move the handle to your pivot location and then hit the ' key again. Now you can rotate your geometry. Usually, when I detach a handle, I also turn on snapping because I want to place the pivot at a specific point.

i finally figurd it out i don't know what i was thinking it was stareing me right in the face.
