rotate about any origin in fix mesh/surface command

Submitted by Nils Borghoff on Wed, 05/23/2018 - 14:23

Hello together,

I have a question about implementing STL files via the fix mesh/surface command.
I know that it is possible to move and rotate the Mesh directly in this command. But as definition, the rotation is only possible around an axis which origin ist the 0,0,0.
Is there a posibillity to change this origin in this command?

The move/mesh command allows to define the rotational axis completely free.
Thanks for your answers,

Best regards,
Nils

No, but the simple workaround is (if your point of rotation is 1,2,3): move -1 -2 -3 rotate axis 1 0 0 angle 90 move 1 2 3
