Hi,

I have a 3d coin which I downloaded & in my program I am spinning it.

But the yaxis of the object does not run through the middle of the object (it runs through the left outer edge) so when I spin it it doesn't look right.

I want the yaxis to run through the middle of the coin, so I spins correctly.

Is there a way to move the axis in my program ?

Yes you can by using the "offset limb" command and offsetting the limb zero.

Here's an example:



This does the opposite of what you're trying to do (ie it moves the centre point to the edge of the object) but it shows how to use the command.
