How to modify a geometric centroid in BasicTE

Hello

I have a question, when I add a kinematic to rotate the basicTE, but it just rotate with geometric centroid. In some cases, for example, machine arms rotate with near bottom, so I want to custom the centroid, how can I do it. (My poor English, please forget me)

Thanks

best wish

You can also change the position of the centroid itself. If you add a component to an object it the animation editor ysou can change the centroid of that component in the properties.

I don't know if this option exists in a GUI for the main object as well. But you can simply copy the resulting tree structure from the component to another object.

The numbers define the centroids position along the x-, y- and z-axis scaled to the size of the object. For example, if the first number is 1, the centroid will be positioned at the right edge of the object.
