I have a model plane however it's coordinates make its yaw movements rotate from the center... is there a way to set it to the nose of the plane? Technically incorrect, but the way it currently moves makes it look like its sliding sideways on ice.

If at first you dont succeed, LOWER YOUR STANDARDS.

If I understand what you are asking, you could use the Offset Limb command to do that. Look at this example, I think it is pretty self explanatory.



Notice that I am offseting limb 0 to adjust the point around which the object rotates.

The Fix Object Pivot command might also do what you want, although if memory serves me it only works with angles.

Nope, but that answered my next question.
